Hi everyone - I'm currently in the middle of a major panic.
I am extremely worried/freaking out about liver cirrhosis, damage, disease.
I know that spider angiomas are a symptom of cirrhosis, so I regularly check my upper body for them. But at about 3am today I realised that's what the red mark on my forehead is - a broken vein/spider vein - but for some reason it hadn't clocked till now.
I have abused alcohol badly in the past and continue to drink to combat my ongoing health anxiety (which was the reason I started drinking in the first place). I'm so paranoid I've damaged my liver beyond repair. I had liver function test done in February and they were normal.I also do have mild rosacea so it could be a symptom of this?
It is without doubt a broken capillary, but it is a spider angioma related to liver damage?! I have a few spider veins around my nose etc but not one isolated one like this. Please help me rationalise this, I'm going insane...
Many thanks in advance.
