2. Itching
It’s not uncommon for telangiectasia to itch. Many people notice an itching sensation before the marks even form, and some feel that scratching can make them worse. The itching may continue even after the marks are apparent and may get better or worse with time. Some people do not experience the itch directly on the spider veins but the area around them. Topical creams may help ease the sensation and prevent redness and scrapes from scratching. If a rash develops over the area, you should talk to a doctor.
Most people don’t experience chronic itching with spider veins unless there is another condition present. If you have telangiectasia that itches relentlessly, talk to a doctor about your options. Prescription medication may be needed to help ease this symptom.
Washing the area with warm or cool water and patting it dry can help relieve some itching and help relieve any redness that may be present.
