Cherry Angiomas

Cherry angiomas, also known as Campbell de Morgan spots or senile angiomas, are common benign (non-cancerous) skin growths made up of clusters of small blood vessels. They typically appear as small, smooth, dome-shaped bumps on the skin that range in colour from bright red to purple. The size of cherry angiomas can vary from a pinpoint to about a quarter of an inch in diameter.

These growths most commonly develop on the trunk of the body, but they can appear anywhere on the skin. Cherry angiomas are more prevalent in adults over the age of 30 and tend to increase in number with age. The exact cause of cherry angiomas is not fully understood, but genetic factors and aging are believed to play a role.

Treatment options may include electrosurgery, cryotherapy (freezing) or laser therapy*
