Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Heyang
Facial cutaneous aneurysms may result from various causes, including congenital factors, antiviral medications, genetic predisposition, gender and age, as well as skin injuries. Elderly individuals and those with prolonged sun exposure are more susceptible to developing facial cutaneous aneurysms. Additionally, improper lifestyle changes or increased hormonal levels due to antiviral medications may also contribute to the condition. Multiple treatment options are available for facial cutaneous aneurysms, including conventional therapy, surgical excision, and physical treatments. Conventional therapy refers to pharmacological treatment, in which prescribed medications are taken regularly as directed by a physician according to the individual's condition. Surgical excision involves direct removal of the lesion by a doctor, typically completed in a single procedure. Physical treatments involve using laser surgery or other techniques to treat the aneurysm, usually administered over several sessions, and can effectively improve and eliminate facial cutaneous aneurysms.
