Overview of Telangeictasia

Overview of Telangiectasia: Telangiectasia are dilated superficial blood vessels. They may occur in rosacea, certain systemic diseases like scleroderma, as part of inherited disorders although most cases are of unknown cause. Scleroderma can cause telangiectasia on the skin of the face and hands and having them here counts towards a diagnosis of CREST. They frequently occur on the trunk and extremities of healthy people so any there do not count towards a CREST diagnosis. Telangiectasia can be treated by a dermatologist and makeup such as Dermablend Corrective Cosmetics and Jane Iredale mineral based make up can be used to cover telangiectasia.
