Healthcare Providers: It's crucial to recognize and understand hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a genetic disorder characterized by abnormal blood vessel formation. People with HHT often experience nosebleeds and may present with telangiectasias—small red or purple spots on the skin. The condition can lead to serious complications, including bleeding in vital organs such as the stomach and brain. Early diagnosis and management are key to improving patient outcomes. 🩸 Find out more about HHT: https://bit.ly/4ie0MFB
