A member asked:

I have a spider angioma on my nose, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nobody knows.: Another way of saying that could be: because you don't have one on your elbow. These lesions strike randomly, there's no way to say why they appear in one place and not another. If it bothers you, there are treatments.
