Michele answered Wednesday June 22 2005, 3:25 pm: I agree with dreamer. I think you were choked, or you slept funny, maybe on your face. Do you have an reason to believe that you might have been hurt by someone. Did you sleep well. Do you take any sleeping aids before going to bed? I would see a doctor. I am an esthetician (skin care specialist) And I have never heard of spider veins in someone so young, unless trauma is involved. You must see a doctor.
Krupple answered Wednesday June 22 2005, 1:35 pm: In addition to the last answer, I'd like to add a few things that might help.
Although many spider veins in other parts of the body are most often removed through a process called sclerotherapy, facial spider veins are usually too small to be effectively treated in this way. When the veins are small and close to the skin’s surface, laser removal is often the most effective treatment.
If they get bad, you might want to concider the laser route.

I don't think they are actually broken blood vessels, they are dilated blood vessels (spider vains). That's why you can see them.
They usually are hereditary, but can also be caused by stress, too much sun or heat, drinking alcohol, or even eating spicy foods. My aunt has them on her legs.
