Spider Angioma: The Silent Warning Your Body Is Sending You
Understanding this common vascular mark and what it reveals about your health --- What Is Spider Angioma?
Spider angioma, also known as hepatic angioma or telangiectasia, is a small, benign vascular lesion characterized by small, red, spider-like splotches on the skin or mucous membranes. These lesions often resemble tiny stars or webs and typically appear on the face, arms, upper chest, and trunk—most commonly in women but also seen in men and children. While spider angiomas are usually harmless and require no treatment, they can be a subtle sign of an underlying condition, especially related to liver function. Recognizing these marks can serve as an early warning your body is sending—an invitation to investigate deeper health factors.
