Pigmentation: Regardless of the cause, pigmented lesions are simply spots on the skin where there is a higher concentration of melanin. Some lesions are flat, other are raised. In most cases, pigmented lesions are merely a cosmetic concern.

Vascular:  What causes spider and varicose veins are heredity, aging, pregnancy, hormonal changes and obesity.  Spider veins are those small red, blue or purple blood vessels that appear most on the face and thighs. In some cases, capillaries in the face, inflame due to sever tempratures, stress and alcohol and a symptom to these may (although not confirmed) causes Rosacea.
