• Telangiectasia, Broken capillaries, or Poikiloderma: Commonly known as “spider veins,” this condition occurs when broken blood vessels appear near the skin’s surface or mucous membranes. They can be identified by their pink or red color and often revert to white color when pressure is put on them.
• Erythema: This is a skin condition caused by capillary congestion, leading to extreme red blotches on the skin. Symptoms of it include redness, rashes, swelling, and sensitivity.
• Rosacea: Rosy skin is not always welcome. Rosacea is a condition in which there is abnormal flushing or blushing of the skin. Sometimes this includes small white bumps as well. This condition is common on the face and has flare-ups from time to time. It is common in people over the age of 30 and occasionally can affect the eyes or nose.

• Dyschromia or Mottled Pigmentation: When skin cells produce a pigment called melanin, skin can become discolored. This is usually a cosmetic condition. Causes include uneven application of sunscreen, moles, suntan or burn, minor skin infections, and vitiligo.
• Solar lentigos: Excessive UV radiation can cause patches of darkened skin anywhere on the body. They range from oval, round, or irregular shapes to different sizes. Some solar lentigos can become scaly if left untreated. They occur in sun-prone areas such as the back of the hands or face.
• Melasma: Most common in women, melasma is a condition that darkens spots on the skin. It often begins during pregnancy, and some women have reported receding after stopping birth control pills or having their child. The condition presents as tan, brown, gray-brown, or blue-gray patches.
