Spider angioma

Alternative Names:

Nevus araneus
Treatment:

Treatment is generally not necessary.

For bothersome spider angiomas, the lesion can be obliterated with electrocautery or laser treatment.


Expectations (prognosis):

Spider angiomas often disappear in children but tend to persist in adults.


Calling your health care provider:

A spider angioma can usually be examined at a routine visit. It is especially important for adults to mention the development of a new spider angioma, to rule out associated medical conditions.
