The question relevant for many patients of our clinic therefore do not forget about to save information to yourself in bookmarks, it still is useful to you.
So, vascular asterisks are not a just cosmetic defect, it is a signal of development of a serious disease, so emergence of vascular asterisks standing can be the first disturbing call of development of venous insufficiency and varicosity.
In medical terminology vascular asterisks call teleangiectasias (sometimes — telangiectasias). And there are they when small vessels extend, filled with blood and because of it become visible under the surface of skin. Teleangiectasias can develop on different parts of a body: on a face, on hands, but most often meet standing. And though the reasons of their emergence can be various.
