Cherry angiomas?
Hello,
My name is jyotsna and I have red spots on my chest back etc. My dad and my entire paternal side is the family have it. I'm 42 now. Just wanted to understand if it's ok to leave it be or does it require intervention. I have attached a pic for reference. It does not bother me in anyway.i just have so many of them so wanted to be sure it's nothing to worry about.
Thank you and happy Monday.

Cherry angiomas are small growth of capillaries that happen with age. It can be removed by a simple procedure under local anaesthetic cream.
