My Children Have Broken Capillaries on Their Faces & my Daughter Also Has Cysts on Her Eyelid?

Question

We've been blessed with three beautiful children. Two of our children 5yrs and 3yrs have broken capillaries on their cheeks. Our 5 yr old also has eczema, keratosis pilaris, hives, warts and cysts. As a a baby she suffered from ptosis. Two of them are suffering with molluscum contagiosum at the moment. We're a very clean family with no pets! Our 5 yr old is currently being picked on for broken capillaries. Is there anything that can be done? I can see where this may lead to low self esteem. Thanks

Thank you for your question. You need to be followed by a board certified dermatologist specializing in pediatric issues. The capillaries can be treated with a V-Beam if the skin pigment is compatible. Your dermatologist should be able to guide your through your vascular options. Lasers can reduce vessels in dramatic fashion. I hope this helps.

Adult patients are routinely treated with lasers and IPL for facial capillaries. Children have very sensitive and fragile skin and therefore it is prudent to see a pediatric dermatologist who can give you further guidance.
