blood vessel spider

For the last year I've had a blood vessel on my nose, and never knew it. It was growing, spreading little capilaries like spider legs and widening across my crown, but all this time (thanks to the superb doctor-like advice of Dr. Chow) I thought it was a cyst. For 6 months I scrubbed it with Rosac cream to appease the doctor-like wisdom of Dr. Chow, thinking that it would magically one day disappear.

Today I saw a dermatologist, whose first words to me past 'Hello' were: "Oh, its a hemoglia." A BLOOD VESSEL, Dr. Chow! BLOOD! Not a cyst! )(@@)IHJRI#RJL. Dermy (as I like to call him) whipped out his magical electric wand and ZAP! the body of the blood spider was no more! The legs, he said reluctantly, might remain. That, dear readers, is the price of listening to the doctor-LIKE spewings of Dr. Chow, 30-somethingish practicer of medicine...sort of.

If the body stays away and the legs fade, I will post a picture. Until then, everybody cross your fingers and legs that they scrizzam!
