Patient's question:
I also don't know when it started that spider angiomas appeared on my face. Are they attractive? What are the reasons for spider angiomas on the face?Doctor's answer:
There are many different reasons for spider angiomas on the face. Some are caused by long-term liver disease leading to reduced estrogen inactivation, resulting in facial capillary expansion and the formation of spider angiomas. In a small number of patients, excessive estrogen excretion leads to poor estrogen inactivation, causing capillary expansion and resulting in spider angiomas on the face. This condition can be treated with laser therapy or oral medication.
