Telangiectasias /tÉlËÃ¦n.dÊiË.ÉkËteÉª.zi.É/, also known as spider veins or angioectasias, are small dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin or mucous membranes, measuring between 0.5 and 1 millimeter in diameter. These dilated blood vessels can develop anywhere on the body but are commonly seen on the face around the nose, cheeks, and chin. Dilated blood vessels can also develop on the legs, although when they occur on the legs, they often have underlying venous reflux or hidden varicose veins (see Venous reflux below).
Spider veins get their name because they look like little spider legs. They can be red or blue and can occur almost anywhere in the body but primarily on the legs and face. A bunch of spider veins together is call telangiectasia. The chief cause of spider veins is usually a hereditary factor.
