Cherry angiomas are small, benign skin growths that often appear on the face, arms, and legs. These red bumps are generally harmless and do not require medical treatment, but they can be removed for cosmetic reasons.
Here’s a closer look at cherry angiomas:
What is a cherry angioma?
A cherry angioma is a non-cancerous tumor that develops on the skin’s surface, commonly on the forehead, nose, cheeks, or chin. They originate from the fatty material inside blood vessels and are mostly found in individuals over 50, although they can appear at any age. While usually painless, they can sometimes affect vision and may require treatment through surgery or radiation.
What causes cherry angiomas?
The exact cause of cherry angiomas is unclear, but they may be linked to various factors, including:
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight
- Genetic predispositions
- Lifestyle choices like smoking
- Alcohol consumption
- Being overweight or obese
