Telangiectasia

Pigmentation & Redness

모세혈관확장증

A state in which fine blood vessels near the skin surface have dilated so that they show through as red lines or a net-like pattern.

What kind of condition it is

It readily appears in areas where the skin is thin, such as around the nose and on the cheeks. Ultraviolet light, repeated flushing and a weakened skin barrier may be involved.

Good to know

Once dilated, vessels tend not to return on their own. Care that reduces aggravating factors, together with a consultation suited to the condition, can help.
