Question: spider angioma question please help? I have 2 big spider angiomas! and I have little pin prick size ones too, I have lots about 15 on each arm. I showed my doctor twice and she isn't worried about them
But then I look on the internet and I find it can mean you have leukemia or liver disease!
Which one is right?? please help!
Answer: I would believe your doctor over some internet doctor.
You doctor would know your medical history, and if they have seen it they can diagnosis it better. Even know they are human too, and they get things wrong. But they are more reliable then internet doctors.
But its up to you if you think 'that doctor' was good enough.
Meaning, how long they have been in medical practice for a long time, or how long they have gone to school, and how long they have been a doctor for.
Question: I scratched a spider angioma on my nose twice and it bled excessively should I be concerned? I'm 20 years old and very concerned about the spider angiomas on my face.I've noticed two on my fingers and it never bothered me. I have eczema and many moles on my face I never knew much about angiomas until i researced it. I did research because I scratched the angioma on my nose twice thinking it was just another pimple. It bled excessively and wouldn't stop. It literally ran like water from a running tap. I read just a few minutes ago that sometimes it is due to liver disease and that one of the symptoms are developing a belly. I have been feeling quite bloated lately thought i was pregnant my periods came, thought it was my period my period left and i'm still a bit bloated.Should i see a doctor?or should I just stop scratching the angioma
Answer: Spider angiomas may occur in pregnancy, malnutrition and healthy people.
and also patients who have liver disease

People who have advanced liver disease develop what is known
as Ascites (fluid build up inside the abdominal area because the
liver is no longer able to make a protein, known as Albumin, which
holds fluid inside our vessels). This fluid is drained by a procedure
known as Paracentesis on a regular basis.
You should have blood testing done and the doctor can rule
out a liver, kidney, biliary, or other problems in doing this.
Spider angiomas do bleed alot because they are like a
grouping of small vessels that carry blood (similar to capillaries).
It would be best to have a check up with your doctor about these.
Best wishes
Question: Headaches, dizziness, nausea.. pregnant? im a 21 year old female. i have been getting constant headaches for the past few weeks accompanied with episodes of vertigo and nausea. this occurs at the same time every night (between 10-11pm), and sometimes during the day. i have also been quite fatigued lately.. i find myself going to bed early and not being able to get up in the morning, and lying in bed after coming home from work during the day after work because I am tired or nauseos. my last period ended march 12th and I have not gotten it yet, however I always have been irregular and don't get it sometimes for 3-4 months at a time. I last had sex on the 31st of march and the second week of april I noticed I was getting some period like cramping, so I went out and bought a pregnancy test.. but it came out negative. my breasts haven't been tender but last month seemed a little swollen, like they had ballooned, and have since fluctuated. then last night, when changing for bed, I noticed several little dots on and along the underside of my breast, and a hickey-like mark near my areole that looked like a popped blood vessel. I looked it up online and it looks much like "spider angioma" which it went on to say is common in pregnant women. after reading this, I have decided to take another pregnancy test first thing this morning and it too came out negative. could it still be possible that I am pregnant? we used a condom, but it was an ultra thin, and there was alot of ***. if not, what else could be causing these problems? the headache, vertigo, and nausea is becoming a regular thing and it is driving me crazy. I plan on making a doctors appointment in the very near future. just wanted to seek some feedback/opinions in the mean time.
