3. Lupus
Telangiectasia can appear in almost any part of the body. The places it occurs can be a sign of the underlying cause of the condition and can help doctors make a proper diagnosis or point them in the right direction for medical testing. In people who are suffering from Lupus, the spider veins can appear in nail folds.
They may also occur on the lesion caused by Lupus. They may also be present around the toenails. This can be a sign of the disease, or it may occur when a person has been suffering from Lupus for a long time.
When it occurs on or near lesions and rashes caused by Lupus, it may be directly related to the disease. Telangiectasia can be a symptom of Lupus, or it may simply occur alongside it and be a symptom of another underlying cause. It rarely occurs before a lupus diagnosis is made unless caused by another condition.
