What can i do about spider angioma and spider veins on my 3-year-old's face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Angiomas: Capillary hemangiomas are quite common in young babies. Usually present since birth. these are not dangerous and generally fade away after several months. Spider angiomas develop later, can enlarge over time although usually quite slowly. Protection from sun exposure is advised, and laser therapy may be an option for cosmetic purposes later in life.
