Suggest Treatment For Red Spots On The Feet From Ruptured Vein

I have very small broken blood vessel spots on my feet and calves that make my feet and legs look like there are dirty spots. In the sun I can also see raised white spots. Trying to pick them off is almost impossible. There is no itch. I took a steroid to make the red spots stop forming but it left them all brown like scars. What is this?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As per your description it seems like you are having a condition called telengiectasia which is nothing but a dilated superficial vein. You can opt for newer treatment options like sclerotherpay.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
