Which doctor should you see for broken veins on the face?

For broken veins on the face, you see a dermatologist. These fine red lines beside the nose and on the cheeks are called telangiectasia in medicine.

Sun damage, age, thin skin and rosacea are the most common causes. On a face that flushes often, the small veins can become permanent over time.

Hot surroundings, alcohol, spicy food and sudden changes in temperature increase flushing. Cutting these down can slow the formation of new veins.

A cream or apple cider vinegar does not close a vein that has become visible. Some creams can reduce redness. For the vein itself, procedures such as laser are used.

If the redness comes with bumps that look like spots, or with dryness or burning in the eyes, you need to be assessed for rosacea.
