Area of Concern

VASCULAR CONDITIONS

CHERRY ANGIOMAS

Angioma or haemangioma describes a benign vascular skin lesion. An angioma is due to proliferating endothelial cells, which are cells that line the inside of a blood vessel. Whilst angiomas can occur early in life (infantile proliferative haemangioma) or later in life; the most common type of angioma is a cherry angioma.

A cherry angioma is a small papular angioma also known as a Campbell de Morgan spot. Whilst it is commonly referred to as a senile angioma, it can occur in young people too. Cherry angiomas are very common in males and females of any age or race. It significantly increases in number after the age of 40 and there may also be a family history of similar lesions.

Cherry angioma can develop on any part of the body but mostly appear on the scalp, face, lips and trunk. Cherry angiomas are harmless, and hence can be left alone. It can be treated with varying options such as electrosurgery, pulsed dye laser or cryotherapy.

PORTWINE STAINS

A discoloration of the human skin caused by a vascular anomaly (a capillary malformation in the skin), a portwine stain is a vascular malformation that is typically present at birth. It does not regress and lesions may become darker and thicker over time. It typically also has a unilateral or segmental distribution respecting the midline. It may be associated with underlying syndromes.

Early treatment with pulsed dye laser yields better clearance than delayed treatment.

TELANGIECTASIAS

Telangiectasia is a condition in which there are visible small linear red blood vessels (broken capillaries). These prominent blood vessels can be physiological or pathological. Across the face, it is a common sign of rosacea, but it can also be caused by certain medications such as long-term topical or systemic corticosteroids, intralesional steroid injections and even oral vasodilators such as calcium channel blockers.

Other causes include certain inheritable conditions such as ataxia-telangiectasia, as well as conditions such as liver disease and systemic sclerosis. Telangiectasias can also be acquired from sun-damage, and may follow scarring and radiation damage.

This condition can be treated with an intense pulsed light or pulsed dye laser.
