Angiomas are common, benign (non-cancerous)skin lesions formed from small blood vessels. The most frequent type is thecherry Angioma which appear as small, red to purple bumps on the skin. Thesegrowths typically develop with age and increase in number over time.
Learn MoreThe exact cause of Angiomas isn’t fully understood, but factors such as age, genetics, hormonal changes, and certain environmental exposures may contribute. Cherry Angiomas are especially common in adults over the age of 30.
Yes. Removing a cherry Angioma can create a smoother skin texture, more even skin tone, and reduce the risk of bleeding or irritation—particularly in areas exposed to friction or sunlight.
An individual Angioma, once completely removed, typically does not return. However, new Angiomas may appear over time, especially as you age.
There is no proven way to prevent Angiomas, as they are often linked to genetics and natural aging. However, protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure and maintaining healthy skin habits may help reduce their appearance.
You should consult a doctor if an Angioma changes rapidly, bleeds often, looks significantly different from others on your body, or causes discomfort. Early evaluation ensures it’s nothing more serious and allows for safe removal if desired.
