Cherry angiomas occur most frequently in people 30 years or older. No one knows what causes these red spots, but there seems to be a genetic component. They have been linked to pregnancy, exposure to chemicals and climate.
Most cherry angiomas are painless and harmless. People generally only need to have one removed if its location causes it to be easily bumped resulting in bleeding. Large angiomas, when injured, can bleed profusely. For this reason, do not puncture or try to remove them yourself. You also have options if you want a cherry angioma removed for cosmetic reasons. (As always, call your health care provider if the appearance of a cherry angioma – or any skin lesion – changes.) Learn more here: https://masterpieceskinrestoration.com/cherry-angiomas-red-spots/
