Cherry Angioma Treatment Options

Hey everyone, I've noticed these small red spots appearing on my skin over the past year or so. They're not painful or anything, just kind of annoying cosmetically. My dermatologist mentioned they might be cherry angiomas but said they're harmless. Has anyone here dealt with these before? I'm trying to figure out if I should just leave them alone or look into getting them removed. Would really appreciate any insights from people who've been through this.

So I had a few of these pop up on my chest and arms a couple years back. They're super common, especially as we get older. My derm told me the same thing - totally benign, nothing to worry about health-wise. If they're bothering you aesthetically, removal is definitely an option. There are a few different methods like laser treatment, electrocautery, or cryotherapy. The laser option seemed to be the most popular from what I researched. Just make sure you go to someone who knows what they're doing because you want minimal scarring.

I actually just went through this whole process myself! I had about seven cherry angiomas that were really bothering me, mostly because they were in visible areas. After doing tons of research, I found a place that specializes in this kind of thing. The laser removal of angiomas was honestly so much easier than I expected. The whole appointment took maybe thirty minutes, and the recovery was super quick. I found this really helpful article that explained everything about the procedure and what to expect: https://bellasanamedspa.com/blog/angioma-removal-safe-and-effective-removal - it definitely helped me feel more confident about moving forward with it. The spots are completely gone now and you can barely tell anything was ever there.
