Thread Veins
These are permanently dilated capillaries. They have very thin walls which constantly dilate and constrict. As we age, these vessels lose their elasticity and can become permanently dilated. There are numerous causes including sun-damage, hereditary, ageing, pregnancy physical trauma (e.g. injury to the skin) exposure to harsh weather, hormonal changes and skin fragility.
Blood Spots
Bright red, superficial and circular vascular blemishes. These are often dome shaped or slightly raised and are frequently found on the midriff. Most people aged over 30 have at least one and they are often more common in men than women.
Spider Naevus
A Spider Naevus consists of a centrally dilated blood vessel, with smaller capillaries radiating from it like legs of a spider. They can be found in isolation or found together in clumps on areas such as the cheeks.
Skin Tags
Skin Tags are mainly found in areas of friction such as the underarm, groin, under the breasts or around the neck where necklaces and collars irritate. They often appear with a stalk attachment, like a mushroom and vary in size from smaller than a grain of uncooked rice, to the size of a large pea or even larger.
Milia
These are tiny, white, hard, round spots which lie superficially under the skin and which contain keratin. Their cause is unknown although they are often associated with dry, dehydrated skin.
