Give the treatment of angioma.
In some instances, especially in infants, painting the parts repeatedly with collodion or liquor plumbi subacetatis will act favorably. For well-established, small, capillary nævi electrolysis or puncturing with a red-hot needle or with a needle charged with nitric acid may be employed; for “port-wine mark” frequent and closely contiguous electrolytic punctures are occasionally followed by a slight diminution in color. For the prominent growths, vaccination, the ligature, puncturing with the galvano-cautery, and excision are variously resorted to.
In recent years applications of liquid air and carbon dioxide have proved of service in some cases.
Telangiectasis.
Describe telangiectasis.
Telangiectasis consists of a new growth or enlargement of the cutaneous capillaries, usually appearing during middle adult life, and seated, for the most part, about the face.
To what extent may telangiectasis develop?
It may be limited to a red dot or point, with several small radiating capillaries (nævus araneus, spider nævus), or a whole region, usually the face, may show numerous scattered or closely-set capillary enlargements or new formations (rosacea). The latter is frequently associated with acne (acne rosacea).
The etiology is obscure.
