A cherry angioma is a commonly occurring, non-cancerous growth that is defined by a small, light to dark red bump the surface of the skin. The red colour is attributed to the presence of blood vessels found within the cherry angioma.
While the exact cause of cherry angioma is not known, studies have indicated that there are factors that can cause cherry angiomas to develop, such as:
While cherry angiomas are not dangerous, it’s important to have any red coloured mole examined by a doctor, if the appearance changes, or if the red coloured mole has yet to be diagnosed as a cherry angioma. When the doctor examines the skin growth, they will be able to determine with certainty, if the red mole is cherry angioma or something more serious such as skin cancer.
Yes. The most effective treatment method for cherry angiomas is Vbeam laser. This laser treatment is completely safe, works on all skin types, ensures faster results with minimal downtime, and is more gentle on the skin than heat-based laser treatments. Vbeam utilises pulse-dyed laser technology, emitting powerful yet gentle bursts of light to specifically target and treat affected areas of the skin. The light is readily absorbed by the blood vessels or melanin-pigmented areas, ensuring successful treatment of the condition.
The following is a brief demonstration of the laser treatment process for cherry angiomas.
