Hi everyone. So I'm 22 weeks pregnant and have noticed I've got a red blotch on my cheek which upon closer inspection looks like a cluster of spider veins. I've always suffered with rosacea but this little red blotch/cluster is really bugging me, a coweorker even said the other day "you've got a bruise on your cheek" so it's obviously noticable, and that's even with make up on. Has anyone else suffered from this during pregnancy? Does it go away? Anything I can do to help it go away?/minimise the redness?

I’ve got them too. I had one on the tip of my nose before getting pregnant, this one has grown. It’s not a good look and I now have a new one on my left cheek.
I was told that they may next worse when pregnant and they have.
I did ask my doctor about getting the one on my nose removed a few years ago. Apparently NHS don’t remove them and private would be around £3000 . So I’m learning to live with them.
Sorry know help in making them better.
