Why at my young age do I suffer from an abundance of bright red broken blood vessels on my face, chest and shoulders?

Asked By:NatashaFelixa in Middletown, NY

These started back in 2003 when I was expecting my first child. I've noticed over the years these broken blood vessels become brighter and more abundant during pregnancy. I am only 28 years old and expecting babygirl 4 in just 2 months time and this disorder/condition has taken such a toll on my self esteem. I Find myself using more and more concealer all over my face chest and shoulders to hide these embarrassing marks. The department of health even asked I wear a scarf to cover my chest :-(
