Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My neck has weird red lines all over it which seems to me as stretch marks. I am currently 18. Is there a way to cure this?
Hello doctor,
The pictures uploaded did not show the said stretch mark (attachment removed to protect patient identity). However, what readily comes to one's mind is that it may be spider veins (widened tiny blood vessels just below your skin). The doctors call such condition telangiectasia.
