Cherry Angioma treatment in Chihuahua

The cherry angioma, also called a ruby spot or cherry hemangioma, is a small benign accumulation of blood vessels that appears on the skin as a little red or purple spot, more common as the years go by.

How it presents: It usually looks like a smooth or slightly raised spot, bright red in color, without pain or discomfort. It can appear on the trunk, the arms, or other areas, and sometimes several appear over time.

Common causes: It is related to changes inherent to skin aging and to hereditary factors; in general it does not pose a health risk and does not require intervention.

Which specialist evaluates it? A dermatologist can confirm what it is and rule out other skin lesions; when someone wishes to remove it for aesthetic reasons or if it changes in appearance, the vascular medicine specialist or the vascular surgeon may also get involved. If you notice a new or changing skin lesion, it is advisable to show it to a professional for a calm review.
