What is Telangiectasia?

  1. Chronic inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous glands

  2. Dilated capillaries at the surface of the skin causing a red, flushed look

  3. A closed comedo

  4. A group of boils characterized by acute bacterial infection

The correct answer is: Dilated capillaries at the surface of the skin causing a red, flushed look

Telangiectasia is a condition where there is a dilation of small blood vessels near the surface of the skin. This results in a red, flushed appearance on the skin. Option A is incorrect because telangiectasia is not related to the sebaceous glands but rather the blood vessels. Option C is incorrect because a closed comedo is a type of acne lesion, and option D is incorrect because boils are caused by bacterial infection, while telangiectasia is not.
