About Cherry Angioma
Cherry angiomas are common, benign skin growths that often appear as small, bright red dots. While generally harmless, many individuals opt for removal due to cosmetic concerns or if they become irritated. Navigating potential treatment costs can be a worry, but TheDrugClub offers a straightforward way for members to save on necessary prescribed medications, making your health journey more manageable.
Cherry angiomas, also known as senile angiomas or Campbell de Morgan spots, are a very common type of benign (non-cancerous) skin growth. They typically appear as small, bright red, cherry-colored bumps, varying in size from a pinpoint to several millimeters in diameter. These growths are caused by an overgrowth of small blood vessels and can appear on almost any part of the body, though they are most frequently found on the trunk, arms, and shoulders.
While the exact cause isn't fully understood, they tend to increase in number and size with age, often appearing after the age of 30. They are generally harmless and don't cause any symptoms. However, if a cherry angioma is frequently rubbed or scratched, it might bleed. It's always a good idea to consult a doctor if you notice any changes in an existing spot, such as changes in color, shape, or if it starts bleeding spontaneously.
Since cherry angiomas are benign, treatment is usually not medically necessary unless they are bleeding, causing discomfort, or for cosmetic reasons. Common removal methods performed by dermatologists include:
- Cryotherapy: Freezing the angioma with liquid nitrogen.
