Capillary Telangiectasia (CTSs)

Definition

Capillary telangiectasia (CTSs) is a condition characterized by the presence of small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. These vessels, also known as telangiectasias, can appear as red or purple clusters and are often harmless but may cause cosmetic concerns or indicate an underlying medical condition.
