Angiomas: causes and treatments

«Angiomas: definition and classification

arterial, lymphatic or biliary: commonly, angiomas are called "birthmarks". They appear in the form of red-purple spots, with a marked tendency to extend over time; however, there are cases in which the angioma regresses spontaneously, without leaving obvious traces on the skin. Unfortunately, however, in most cases it is necessary to contact a specialist, dermatologist or surgeon, to erase the patch. The angioma is not contagious and is unlikely to lead to pathological forms.
Usually, angiomas are considered isolated blemishes, only rarely related to severe vascular manifestations.

, since it occurs without causing disturbances to the subject and the damage is only aesthetic; if the individual suffering from angioma perceives discomfort, it means that the angioma is located in a critical area of ​​the body, or it is an indication of an excessive extension of the spot. If scratched or injured, angiomas can bleed. mild symptoms are remembered: migraine, headache, and some sporadic cases of epileptic seizures easily controlled with medical treatments.
In some subjects, following a "possible haemorrhage," arteriovenous angioma could cause more serious consequences in the brain; if an abnormal vessel ruptures, a hematoma could be created in the brain mass, leading to neurological deficits. However, if they occur in non-critical areas, the bleeding tends not to leave permanent damage.

that trigger the manifestation of the "angioma" are still a motive for research, since the causes are not precise, much less clear. Only some types of angiomas have recorded a close correlation with other pathologies: for example, spider angioma could be a consequence of liver cirrhosis. In addition, a higher incidence of angiomas has been observed. spider in pregnant women, but the causes have not yet been clarified.
The Diseases Database indicates, with a list, the possible causes that could trigger or, in any case, favor the onset of angiomas, including pregnancy, liver cirrhosis, alcoholic liver disease and repeated microtrauma.

, anus, genitals), the most suitable treatment is surgical removal.
In some subjects, angiomas form in the eyelids: in addition to being a cosmetic problem, the angioma could cause vision problems.
Angiomas, as among other things most of the benign pathological manifestations with an aesthetic implication, could create serious psychological problems in the suffering subject due to his disfigured image: it will be the doctor's duty to advise, in addition to a possible resolutive therapy of the angioma, a psycho-therapeutic treatment.
As for small asymptomatic angiomas, limited in some areas, the most suitable treatment is the sole control of their evolution.
Depending on the patient, the decisive treatments for angiomas are different: laser therapy, plastic surgery, cryosurgery, radiotherapy, embolization.

• Laser therapy: it is a very effective treatment, suitable for young people. More specifically, an instrument called Dye laser is used, a selective laser for the elimination of red patches of the skin. The Dye laser is recommended for angiomas, because they appear red: this particular instrument, in fact, is selective only for the red color. (indicated, in fact, also for the treatment of couperose, scars, stretch marks in the inflamed stage, and telangiectasias). During the session, there is no pain, if not a little discomfort. It should be remembered that angioma cannot be eliminated with a single session; after a few treatments, there is a progressive depigmentation of the skin. Before undergoing laser therapy, sun exposure is absolutely not recommended: it is a good rule to also avoid drugs and photosensitizing substances before treatment.
• Cryosurgery: it is a technique suitable for the resolution of dermatological affections. The cryosurgical technique uses cold to treat skin disorders, such as angiomas, warts, acne and hypertrophic scars. The etymology of the term "cryotherapy", whose derivation is Greek, already refers to the use of cold for therapeutic purposes (cryotherapy = treatment with cold). Cryosurgery is a suitable treatment for angiomas, as it can cause freeze burns with possible formation of erythema and boils. If done correctly, this technique leaves no traces in the surrounding cells, as only the tissue affected by the angioma should be affected.
• Radiotherapy: recommended only for the rare cases in which surgery fails to heal the tissue, because perhaps the angiomas are located in critical and dangerous areas for the proper functioning of nearby organs. Generally, radiotherapy is applied to bone or orbital angiomas. This technique generally involves application by contact through plates charged with radioactive isotopes.
• Embolization (or sclerotization): particular technique, useful for the resolution of angiomas that communicate with the systemic vascular circulation or for those located at the extremities or at the roots of the limbs. This complicated procedure consists in "blocking the blood flow of the affected area in a selective way: the embolization, as the word itself suggests, creates an embolus, which allows to reduce temporarily the blood emission so that the surgeon can remove the angioma avoiding excessive bleeding.
• Plastic surgery: this remedy must "be" the "last resort" and the subject should undergo a surgical operation only if absolutely necessary. If the angioma is dangerous, large, bleeds easily and does not regress spontaneously, it specialist may suggest invasive surgical treatment.

The treatments analyzed are drastic, since they eradicate the angioma in an invasive way. acceptable, you can use opaque cosmetics, which conceal the disorder without actually eliminating the angioma. The make-up must be chosen with care, preferring quality and non-irritating products: it should not be forgotten, in fact, that the skin affected by the " angioma is more sensitive and delicate; consequently, the use of aggressive or irritating cosmetics could accentuate the disorder.

There are no natural remedies (phytotherapeutic) useful in the recovery of the angioma.
