Telangectasias: Telangectasias are "spider veins" and are a result of increased widening (dilation) of larger veins in your legs. When this occurs, the valves in your large leg veins have become non-functional, and permit the entire column of blood from your groin to your ankles to be applied to lower leg small veins, which burst and form small hemorrhages. They are not harmful, just not cosmetically acceptable.
