8. Telangiectasias
A very small number of people are born with a condition known as ataxia–telangiectasia syndrome, which is also sometimes referred to as Louis-Bar syndrome. The patient will often begin to show symptoms before year 5 of life, only for them to then slowly degenerate as they get older.
One of the symptoms of this condition is telangiectasia, from which it gets its name. Telangiectasia is a relatively common condition that causes dilated blood vessels just beneath the surface if the skin. This causes them to become more visible in a condition that is also often known as spider veins.
