Hello. a little over a year ago i started developing two very faint broken capillaries on my face. It took me a long time to realize it was not acne or some other skin issue. i noticed that it was always in the same two places - redness that is almost underneath the skin and may have a surface level bump. about five months ago one of them became more defined. one day while shaving i accidentally nicked one and blood began gushing out of my face like coming out of a blood vessel. over the past week, another one has become more defined. interestingly they seem to get really visible or barely visible like they are related to inflammation. i read a while back that these can be related to liver issues (or excess estrogen).
i had to get blood work recently and a doctor said my liver function was "good" but i have no idea.
visually, electrocautery can apparently remove these.
everything else seems to be going well for me physically. i would like to be able to say that it's related to a specific food issue - and i did notice the problem began when i introduced milk....but i also introduced milk at a time when i likely developed liver issues from going high carb, low protein. The issue has diminished in times of drinking milk, an even being a milk-drinker i consume max 3 cups a day.
So i wanted to see if anyone thinks i'm on the right track in thinking that it's estrogen related? could there be other excesses/deficiencies that would cause broken capillaries on face? i think that it must be life stress related, something outside of the confines of diet for now.
