Telangiectasia
When vascular walls are weakened and the skin becomes thinner, small vessels may become visible on the skin surface. Telangiectasia is redness in the face that does not go away. Telangiectasia often occurs on your cheeks, chin or nose, but can also occur on your neck or in your décolleté. The vessels may sometimes feel burning or itchy. Telangiectasia is also known as spider veins.
Telangiectasia can be caused by heredity, skin type, medications or large temperature differences. It usually occurs after the age of 30.
