Vascular Rosacea With Broken Capilaries On Face, Redness And Sun Damage On Chest And Shoulders, Spider Veins On Rib Cage. Any Serious Condition?
I am a 33 year old male and have recently developed vascular rosacea with broken capilaries on my face. I also have redness, sun damage and what look like broken blood vessels on my chest and shoulders. I have a large collection of spider veins on my right rib cage directly above my liver. The spider veins on my ribs were the first to appear years ago. Is this all just rosacea and sun damage or is it more likely I have an underlying condition?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Such skin lesions are mostly benign and caused by sun exposure and genetic in your age. Rarely it may be caused by serious liver condition but if you have normal LFT and liver ultrasound,you dont have to be worried. You should just visit dermatologist for further evaluation and teratment
Wish you good health. Regards
