Hello! I’m Attaching A Picture Of The Front Of My

Posted on Mon, 25 Nov 2019

Question: Hello! I’m attaching a picture of the front of my lower left and have circled a spot...can you please take a look at it and let me know whether it’s just any regular cherry angioma? I have regular twice yearly skin checks by my Derm and all of the other spots have been checked and have been there, but this small one just popped up. Also...is it pretty normal to have a few cherry angiomas pop up as we age (I’m 52)? I know that if you have a sudden appearance of a ton of them it could signify something bigger, but I just have an occasional one here and there that I notice...thank you!!
