possible spider nevus

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
I suppose that your doctor thought of so called spider nevus which are signs of serious liver diseases. This is very rare and your skin chnages are ore likely to be something else, but anyway,you should do liver work up,check viral hepatitis markers, bilirubin and do ultrasound or ct scan. Wish you good health. Regards
