A cherry angioma is a small, benign skin growth made up of clusters of tiny blood vessels. They are usually bright red or purplish in colour and can appear anywhere on the body, most commonly on the arms, torso, and legs. Cherry angiomas are generally harmless, do not cause pain, and are not cancerous. They often develop with age, typically appearing in adults over 30, and may grow slowly over time.
Cherry angiomas can be removed using minimally invasive procedures such as laser therapy, cryotherapy (freezing), or electrocautery (using an electric current to destroy the lesion). The choice of treatment depends on the size, number, and location of the angiomas, as well as skin type and patient preference. Treatments are usually quick, precise, and performed by experienced clinicians to reduce the risk of scarring or damage to surrounding skin.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during treatment. Laser removal may feel like a light snapping sensation, while cryotherapy can cause brief cold or tingling sensations. Anaesthetic is rarely needed, though topical numbing cream can be applied if required.
Removal is typically very quick. Single lesions can often be treated within a few minutes, and multiple lesions may take slightly longer. Most procedures allow patients to return to normal daily activities immediately, with minimal or no downtime.
Treated angiomas usually do not return. However, new cherry angiomas can appear elsewhere on the body over time, as they are benign vascular growths associated with age and genetics.
Consult a clinician if the angioma bleeds frequently, grows rapidly, changes colour, or causes cosmetic concern. Otherwise, treatment is optional.

Cherry angiomas are harmless and benign, meaning they are not cancerous. Most people choose removal for cosmetic reasons, especially if the angioma is in a visible area such as the face, arms, or torso. Removal can also help prevent accidental bleeding if the lesion is injured.
Some angiomas may fade over time, but most remain stable or increase in size and number with age. Removal is usually requested for aesthetic reasons rather than medical necessity.
No, cherry angiomas are harmless and not cancerous. They do not affect overall health, though they may bleed if injured or scratched.
The exact cause is unknown. They are linked to age, genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, and exposure to certain chemicals such as bromides or nitrogen mustard.
Diagnosis is typically made through visual examination by a healthcare professional. No laboratory tests are usually required.
