What is a Cherry Angioma?

Skin Growth

Is cherry angioma treatment necessary?

Cherry angiomas, also known as Campbell de Morgan spots or senile angioma, are benign skin growths of small blood vessels to form red or purple spots on the skin. They are common skin growths, especially in individuals older than 30 years of age, and can develop anywhere on the body, including the torso, arms, or face. Though they are harmless, some people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if the growth is irritated or bleeds.

The question is, does that need to be removed? Not really, unless the angioma is uncomfortable, or in a prominent area that’s bothering you. If the cherry angioma is large, in a visible location, or becoming painful, it can be removed. At Harley Street Skin Clinic, our doctors will assess your skin and propose the best option for you.

Several benefits include:

  • Improved appearance
  • Reduces discomfort
  • Preventing growth
  • Boosting confidence

The procedure
Quick Angioma Removal
How does it work?

Here are a few common methods:

  • Cryosurgery: Freezes the angioma using liquid nitrogen. Healing takes about a week.
  • Electrocautery: It serves to eliminate the angioma using heat. A few days later, small scabs appear and come off after 5 to 10 days.
  • Shave Excision: The larger angiomas are shaved off in layers. For a week or two, the area could be stained red.
  • Laser Treatment: This method employs a laser to destroy the angioma; may result in slight bruising that heals rapidly.
Duration Of The Treatment
How long does the removal process last?

Cherry angioma removal treatment is simple and quick, requiring only about 30 minutes.

Zero Downtime Recovery
Is there downtime after the removal?

No need for a recovery period, you can resume normal activities the same day.

Long Lasting Outcome
Are the results permanent?

Normally permanent. After treatment, cherry angiomas can sometimes come back, and if required, further treatment can be provided.

Painless, Minimal Discomfort
Is it painful?

The area is numbed before removal so in general there is no pain while treating a cherry angioma. Any slight soreness and minimal discomfort after, will be temporary.

Am I suitable
Is Cherry Angioma Removal good for me?

If your cherry angiomas show signs of bleeding or change significantly in size, shape, or colour then you may want to consider undergoing the procedure. When an angioma bothers you, treatment can reduce the appearance and sensation of your skin. Treatment is not one-size-fits-all, so the surest manner to learn whether or not you and your skin are a fit for treatment is via an initial consultation with a dermatologist. They will look at your skin, determine which condition you have, and find the most effective treatment plan for your individual needs.

The risks
Can risks be prevented?

Cherry angioma removal is typically very safe, but there are some risks associated with any procedure. One of the risks can be the scarring. When the skin does heal, it can sometimes do so with a small scar, particularly when the healing process itself has not gone exactly according to plan. Infection is also a risk, but only if follow-up care directions are not followed exactly right.

Other risks are skin thinning or colour changes, where the area can be darker or lighter than the surrounding skin. A little bit of bleeding can occur during or after the procedure, especially if the angioma is huge or in a sensitive area. Finally, it is possible for the cherry angioma to come back after being removed. Speak with our professional dermatologists in order to understand your unique risks, and that it is appropriate for you.
