Re: spider angiomas

[Guest guest]

Hi ;

Yes, the spider angionas could well be due to advancing liver disease,

but might also be due to pregnancy, or use of hormone supplements, or

oral contraceptives, which elevate estrogen levels:

Nevus Araneus (Spider Nevus)

I don't think that sun exposure would make them worse.

Best regards,
