What does the presence of distended capillaries indicate?

Dry skin
Couperose skin
Oily skin
Normal skin

The correct answer is: Couperose skin

The presence of distended capillaries is a clear indicator of couperose skin, a condition characterized by redness and visible blood vessels. This condition typically occurs due to various factors, including genetics, environmental influences, and lifestyle choices, which can lead to weakened capillary walls. As a result, the capillaries become enlarged and prominent, especially around the cheeks and nose. While dry skin, oily skin, and normal skin can exhibit various characteristics, they do not involve the presence of distended capillaries. Dry skin is often associated with flakiness and rough texture, oily skin is characterized by excess sebum production, and normal skin has a balance of moisture and oil without the visible vascular issues presented in couperose skin. Therefore, recognizing the specific symptoms of couperose skin is crucial for appropriate skincare management and treatment choices.
