Cherry Hemangioma

What is a Cherry Hemangioma?

The are mole-like papulas on the skin that contain an adnormal amount of blood vessels. They range in colour from bright red to dark purple.They cause no complications to the skin, other than cosmetic appearance. They may first appear as a small red dot, flat on the skin and only a tenth of a millimetre. Over time and prolonged exposure to sun, they grow in size, expand in thickness and may become a dome-like shape.

What causes cherry hemangiomas?
It is formed from an over production of small veins called capillaries at the surface of the skin. The underlying cause for the development of cherry angiomas is far from understood, much because of a lack of interest in the subject.
