A vascular nevus is a benign skin formation that is characterized by multiple capillaries and vessels on the surface of the skin. A vascular nevus is a capillary angioma that can be of different colors and sizes.
Vascular nevus is a fairly common type of skin spot and can appear in people of any age and gender. Most often, vascular nevi are found on the face, arms, legs and back. Vascular nevus may be pigmented, discolored, purple or reddish. It may have a smooth or uneven surface and can sometimes increase in size.
The reasons for the development of vascular nevi are still not fully understood. It is believed that its appearance is associated with disturbances in the maturation of blood vessels and disturbances in their functioning. Vascular nevi are believed to originate from the mother's vascular system.
Treatment for vascular nevus depends on its size, shape and severity. Some nevi can be removed using surgical methods that include cryodestruction, laser therapy or electrocoagulation. However, the choice of treatment method may depend on the individual characteristics of each person. In some cases, vascular nevus is a benign formation and does not require any specialized treatment. However
