Cherry angiomas are a common vascular legion. While their cause is unknown, they appear on the skin as clusters made up of dilated capillaries. They range in color from purple to a cherry red. They are possibly the most common vascular lesions which appear on human skin and no one knows exactly what causes them. These lesions are made up of clusters of dilated capillaries, which explain the reason for the purple to cherry red coloring. They are often passed on genetically through your families history.
There are many treatments available to remove these red spots. If treated early enough, while still red in color, they can be completely removed using laser treatments. These treatments will not leave any scarring behind. Once the cherry angiomas become darker, as well as larger, their removal may require cautery. This procedure may leave a small scar after treatment. Cautery is the medical procedure of using burning to remove an undesirable growth. This method will allow the cherry angiomas to be removed from the skin.
