Yes : A spider angioma is treated best by a laser to close the vessel. Sometimes if its really small docs can tx w sclerotherapy or electrocaudery.

The reason may be the fact that the dermatologist is questioning the diagnosis and wants to obtain a shave biopsy, having a discussion about options, risks, benefits and alternatives should help before seeking a second opinion.
