Telangiectasia
A cluster of dilated tiny blood vessels called capillaries that forms a lesion anywhere on the skin or mucous membranes.
Self-care
Self-care options for skin lesions include using makeup or self-tanning lotion to hide marks. Sun-protection measures also may help.
When to make a doctor's appointment
See a healthcare professional if:
- There is a personal or family history of gastrointestinal bleeding.
- There are nosebleeds.
- Lesions appear on the mouth or eye lining.
