Does the spider angioma itch?

Patient's question:

Doctor, recently there was a mole on my baby's face, and according to the elders, it might be a spider angioma. Could you please tell me if spider angiomas are itchy?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, spider angiomas are never itchy because they are a special type of telangiectasia. Their appearance resembles a spider, with radiatingly arranged capillaries extending from the angioma, hence the name "spider angioma." Spider angiomas are most commonly found on the face and neck. It is recommended to take the baby to the dermatology department of the hospital for a thorough examination. Early and careful examination and treatment are essential. I hope my explanation helps you.
