Cherry Angioma or Red Spot Treatment

Cherry Angiomas are red or purple spots made from dilated capillaries. They are common skin growths in adults over the age of 30. They usually appear on the torso but can appear anywhere, including the arms, legs, chest, and scalp. They are benign or noncancerous skin growths, usually round to oval-shaped, and can be smooth and flat or a raised bump on the skin. They range in size from a tiny dot to several millimeters.

Cherry angiomas are not dangerous, even if they resemble certain types of skin cancer. However, if you have cherry angiomas that bleed or change shape, size, or color, see your health care provider as soon as possible.

Belle Visage Medical Aesthetics uses an Er: YAG laser and removing cherry angiomas is a 15-minute painless procedure. A concentrated laser beam targets the angioma and shrinks it. Eventually, it does disappear. It only takes one treatment for those with lighter skin (Fitzpatrick 1-3) and two treatments for darker skin types.

Cherry Angiomas can happen due to exposure to chemicals and gases in the environment, climate sometimes plays a part, but genetics is the main reason you have cherry angiomas. If your grandparents or parents had them, then you probably will also. Hormones may also play a role in the appearance of these angiomas. You can also discover these little bumps after childbirth, which may be linked to an increase in prolactin or the hormone that stimulates breast milk production.
