I believe that everyone is still not familiar with the symptoms of leg capillary dilation. After all, there are not many friends around us who have this condition. However, leg capillary dilation can bring many harms to our body, so it is necessary for us to learn more about leg capillary dilation.

1. Congenital leg telangiectasia: more common in female children, tends to disappear naturally with age. The lesions often occur on the head and neck, sometimes extending to the chest. The superficial veins are persistently dilated, accompanied by telangiectasia, and the skin has a marbled appearance.

2. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: a hereditary systemic vascular abnormality disease. It manifests as multiple clustered capillary dilations in the skin and mucous membranes, often accompanied by nosebleeds and bloody stools. Certain internal organs such as the gastrointestinal tract and liver may also have capillary dilation, and capillary dilation may also occur in the legs. Skin lesions usually begin to appear between the ages of 30 and 40. Mucosal damage such as persistent nosebleeds often occurs in childhood.

3. Ataxia telangiectasia: This is a rare disease caused by autosomal recessive inheritance and immunodeficiency, characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectasia and recurrent respiratory tract infections. The children are normal at birth and usually develop the disease after 2-3 years old. In addition to symptoms of cerebellar ataxia and immunodeficiency, capillary dilation is also an important manifestation that will occur sooner or later. It first appears on the nasal and temporal sides of the conjunctiva, and less frequently on the upper and lower parts of the eyeball. The palpebral conjunctiva may be affected, and then it may occur on the earlobes, behind the ears, face, around the neck, elbows, popliteal fossa, and backs of the hands and feet. Symptoms of capillary dilation in the legs may also be observed. It may also be accompanied by premature aging of the skin and hair, coffee spots and other skin damage.
