A spider angioma, also known as a spider nevus or spider telangiectasia, is a small red to purple mark on your skin caused by dilated (wide) blood vessels (capillaries) near the surface of your skin. Spider angiomas get their name because the mark on your skin looks like the body and legs of a spider.
Spider angiomas (spider-like blood vessels on the skin) are one of the main symptoms caused by a HCV infection. Discovering an infected patient with hepatitis C early on in the infection phase increases the chances of the virus being successfully treated and cured by oral medication. [4]
Spider angioma, also known as spider naevus or spider telangiectasia, is a vascular lesion characterized by anomalous dilatation of end vasculature found just beneath the skin surface. The lesion contains a central, red spot and reddish extensions which radiate outward like a spider's web.
A spider telangiectasis (plural: telangiectases) is composed of dilated blood vessels, and is clinically characterised by its spider-like appearance. It is given that name because it has a central red papule (the body of the 'spider') from which fine red lines (the spider legs) extend radially.
Spider angiomas contain a body, legs, and surrounding reddened patches of skin caused by dilation of the capillaries. A spider angioma may also be called a spider telangiectasis or spider nevus. Spider angiomas are common in healthy children and adults.
Spider nevi (plural) can be caused by injuries, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or liver disease, but often the cause is unknown. For most people, the nevi are not a medical concern. In...
A spider angioma is a common skin condition that appears as a red papule (a small, solid bump) with small red vessels radiating from it on the surface of the skin. The pattern is thought to resemble the body and legs of a spider.
Spider angiomas are caused by small arteries that travel to the surface of the skin and branch out, resembling a small red spider with tiny legs. Over time, the central feeding artery may dilate, recruiting additional branches and resulting in a slowly enlarging red spot.
Spider angiomas, also known as spider nevi or spider veins, are a common vascular condition that can appear on the skin's surface. They are characterized by a central red spot with small blood vessels radiating outwards, resembling the legs of a spider.
Spider angiomas are small, bright-red spots consisting of a central dilated blood vessel surrounded by slender dilated capillaries (the smallest blood vessels) that resemble spider legs.
