What is the most noticeable symptom of telangiectasis?

Puffiness
Redness
Itching
Dry patches

The correct answer is: Redness

The most noticeable symptom of telangiectasis is redness. Telangiectasis refers to the dilation of small blood vessels, which can lead to visible red or purple lines on the skin, often resembling spider veins. This condition typically affects areas such as the face and legs and manifests as a network of fine, raised blood vessels that can give the skin a flushed or rosy appearance. While puffiness can result from other skin conditions, and itching or dry patches may indicate different dermatological issues, they are not characteristic of telangiectasis. The primary distinction of this condition is indeed the prominent redness caused by the dilated vessels.
