A member asked:
I have telangiectasia on my ribs on both sides. no other symptoms. what is causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If the lesions are stable and you do not have other symptoms, you may watch and wait and discuss it with your doctor at the next opportunity. Wish you good health!
