Cream for small veins on upper eyelids?

catscanMay 12, 2016
I decided to try a new makeup routine and it resulted in small veins being visible underneath my light skin on my eyelids. They aren't a huge deal, but I was wondering if i could use horse chestnut cream, vitamin k cream, or vitamin C cream to help them become less visible again. If you wouldn't recommend these creams what would you recommend besides lasers?

Yes cherry angiomas can be treated very effectively with laser.  Typically a vascular laser is used to treat them and they often respond to a single treatment but may require a a few treatments depending on the size, your skin type and laser being used.Good Luck!Dr. Shah
