Nevus telangiectatic: causes, symptoms and treatment

Nevus telangiectaticus, also known as naevus teleangiectaticus, is a rare type of mole that is characterized by the presence of multiple red or pink vascular features in the skin. This type of mole typically appears on the face, neck, and torso, but can occur on other parts of the body.

The causes of nevus telangiectaticus are unknown. However, some studies suggest that it may be due to genetic factors, environmental conditions, exposure to ultraviolet rays and other external factors.

Symptoms of nevus telangiectaticus can vary depending on its size and location. These are usually red or pink spots that may be flat or raised. In some cases, a nevus may bleed or cause itching.

Treatment for nevus telangiectaticus may include conservative methods such as the use of creams and lotions to reduce redness and irritation. However, if the nevus becomes more problematic, an removal procedure may be required. Depending on the size and location of the nevus, treatments may include cryotherapy (freezing), electrocautery (using an electrical current to remove tissue), or laser therapy.

In conclusion, nevus telangiectaticis is a rare type of mole that can cause discomfort and inconvenience. If you notice these symptoms on your skin, contact your doctor for a consultation and evaluation of possible treatment options.
