Question : I have a red mole on scalp that I think is a cherry angioma but would like an expert opinion
I have about 4 other cherry angiomas on that side of my scalp that have been looked at by a dermatologist. This one i just discovered when I parted my hair a few weeks ago. It is slightly larger and wanted to make sure it was of no concern.
