How to treat spider nevus?

The treatment of spider nevi must of course be chosen with caution, but the most important thing is to understand what causes these symptoms, symptomatic treatment, physical therapy, and now surgical treatment are all treatments for spider nevi.

1. Understand the causes of spider nevi

First of all, we need to understand the causes of spider nevi, identify the types of spider nevi and find the corresponding treatment methods. When patients find spider nevi on their bodies but they are not pregnant women or adolescent girls, they should consider whether they have liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. They should go to a regular hospital for a hepatitis B two-to-a-half test or liver function test to see if they have liver disease. If spider nevi are caused by hepatitis B, the first thing to think of is antiviral treatment. The advantage of this treatment method is that it has long-lasting effects and low cost. In addition, the commonly used clinical treatments include:

2. Physical therapy:

The treatment principle of this therapy is to use high-frequency electrocautery, diathermy or carbon dioxide laser, YAG laser or microwave therapy to destroy the central blood vessels of spider nevus to achieve the purpose of cure. This treatment method allows the emitted laser to penetrate the patient's skin very smoothly and selectively destroy pigment cells, breaking down subcutaneous pigment cells. Finally, the phagocytes in the body engulf these fragments and excrete them out of the patient's body. This treatment method is safe and effective for the treatment of spider nevi and is not likely to leave scars.

3. Surgical treatment:

For some patients who still have recurrence after long-term treatment, local excision can be considered.

Warm reminder: For patients with hepatitis B, once spider nevi appear on the body, it is a sign and warning of worsening condition, and the possibility of development of cirrhosis of liver diseases such as hepatitis cannot be ruled out. Patients should not be careless. In this case, they should go to a specialist hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to grasp the best treatment time for the disease.
