somebo According to Bates' Guide to Physical Examination 9th edition pg 141. There are two kinds of telangiectasia. Spider angiomas occur on the face, neck, arms and upper torso; almost never below the waist. Spider veins occur most often on the legs and also the anterior chest.

It should be noted in the treatment section that spider veins in the legs typically respond poorly to light/laser treatments and that sclerotherapy is the preferred treatment for spider veins of the leg.

THIS IS THE WORST ARTICLE ON WIKIPEDIA.

IT WOULD BE MORE ACCURATE IF IT SAID THAT TELANGIECTASIA WERE POPSICLES! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.96.175.10 (talk) 15:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
