A member asked:

I have broken blood vessels under my skin do they go away after a while or do i need to use a medication. i also would like to know what cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Laser: "Broken" blood vessels are actually permanently dilated blood vessels often seen in sun-exposed skin or on the face in a condition called rosacea. They can be treated with an electric needle, laser or injection (sclerotherapy), all of which can be done by a dermatologist.
