What should I do if a 7-year-old child has spider angiomas on their face? Is their liver function normal?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. What should I do if my 7-year-old child has spider angiomas on their face? Is the liver function normal?

Doctor's answer:

For a seven-year-old child, if spider angiomas appear on the face, it does not necessarily indicate liver function damage or a manifestation of the disease. If the liver function is normal, it should be considered as a result of local vascular growth and development abnormalities, especially subcutaneous vascular growth and development abnormalities in the face. This condition does not require special treatment and can be managed by temporary close observation. As the child ages, it may stabilize to some extent.
