What is the reason for red spots on men's bodies?

Spider nevi: Patients with liver disease should be especially careful

Spider nevus is a common skin disease in dermatology. It is an idiopathic capillary dilatation, which is formed by the dilation of the terminal segments of the small arteries in the skin. The nevus has a central point, surrounded by radiating small blood vessels, and its shape resembles a spider, so it is called a spider nevus. It is prone to occur in areas where the superior vena cava is distributed, such as the face, neck, upper chest, shoulders and upper limbs.

Spider nevi are related to estrogen metabolism. Adolescent girls and pregnant women will develop spider nevi due to the increase of estrogen content in their bodies. This is a normal phenomenon and you don’t need to be too nervous. Spider nevi will disappear as you age and have children.

If spider nevi suddenly appear in men or elderly women, they should be vigilant, because spider nevi are more common in patients with acute or chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis.

If you find a large number of spider nevi on your skin and they do not disappear for a long time after they appear, or if the old spider nevi suddenly increase significantly, you should be alert to the possibility of cirrhosis, aggravated cirrhosis, or even liver cancer. Spider nevi may be a warning light for liver failure.

Health Tips:

It is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check liver function and liver B-ultrasound to rule out malignant tumors and various diseases that cause liver failure.

Bleeding spots (purpura): Beware of coagulation abnormalities and vasculitis

Small red spots that are not above the surface of the skin and do not fade when lightly pressed are usually caused by ruptured capillaries, which is medically known as "purpura". Purpura is the most common clinical manifestation of hemorrhagic diseases. Once purpura is found, it indicates the following possibilities:

① Vascular purpura. Very common, caused by damage to the blood vessel wall or increased fragility and permeability.

②

Thrombocytotic purpura. Most cases are caused by platelet decrease, increase and abnormal function.

③ Disorders of coagulation mechanism, including deficiency of coagulation factors, anticoagulants in the circulation, or hyperlysis of fibrinogen.

Health Tips:

If unexplained bleeding spots suddenly appear on the skin, no matter how many there are, it is best to go to the hospital to consult a dermatologist.

Vascular nevus: Don’t rub or pick it hard

Vascular nevus are mostly higher than the skin surface. They are caused by the proliferation and continuous expansion of capillaries or small arteries on the skin surface. They fade when pressed and are prone to rupture and bleeding. They can appear anywhere on the human skin surface.

Health Tips:

Generally speaking, vascular nevus do not pose any health hazard. If there is anything you must be careful about, it is that vascular nevus are prone to rupture and bleed, so do not rub or pick them hard.
