1 -- Telangiectases are single dilated capillaries or terminal arteries that appear often on the cheeks and nose. These lesions are most common in older adults and result from photoaged skin. The lesions appear as broken veins. Nevus flammeus is a congenital vascular condition involving the capillaries. Venus lakes do not exist. Skin tags are soft papules on a pedicle.
