Cherry Angioma
Senile angiomas, Campbell de Morgan spots
A cherry angioma is a common, benign skin growth made up of small blood vessels (capillaries). It appears as a small, round or oval, bright red or purple bump on the skin. Cherry angiomas typically develop with age.
Cherry angiomas are harmless and do not turn into cancer, making them a common and typically benign skin condition.
AI Summary of Treatment Experiences
Not medical advice.
The treatment landscape for Cherry Angioma includes various options such as laser therapy (KTP, Nd:YAG, and Pulsed Dye Laser), electrosurgical methods (electrocoagulation and electrodessication), cryotherapy, and intralesional injection of sclerosants. Laser treatments, particularly the KTP and Nd:YAG lasers, are highly effective for small to medium-sized lesions and offer minimal discomfort and side effects. Electrosurgical methods and cryotherapy, while more affordable and widely available, carry a higher risk of scarring compared to lasers. Intralesional injection of sclerosants is best suited for larger or resistant cherry angiomas that do not respond well to other treatments.
