If someone develops spider angiomas from cirrhosis of liver once in remission do they go away or is there any way to get rid of them?

No: Injection or sclerotherapy, lasers if you have light skin.

Can be treated.: Spider angioma can be treated either by topical laser, fine needle radio frequency or sometimes even sclerotherapy. When these are due to an underlying live problem, the recurrence rate is high. Treating the liver problem is the best way to control them.
