Suggest Treatment For Cherry Angiomas And Numbness In The Fingers

I am a Male, age 30. I have been developing Cherry Angiomas (at least that s what I think they are) Maybe 10-15 or so within the past 5 months. I have also been experiencing numbness in my fingers and feet. I have also felt pain on my left upper chest area, stretching to my shoulders and even trapezoid muscles. Unfortunately, I do not have insurance and do no qualify for Medicaid. I have gone to the Emergency room 4 times now thinking I was having a heart attack. They tell me is not a heart attack and there is no sign of blood clots causing the numbness. Could i have a pinched nerve? and could that cause the Cherry Angiomas by cutting the blood supply? Could I have cancer? I have also been getting weird cuts (they resemble a light scratch made by a razor) almost magically appearing on my body, on my arms mainly, then a light scab appears and they go away. They usually come as two or three lines next to each other. Are any of these things related? I have a son and I simply want to live until he is eighteen and I have taught him how to be self sufficient. I just need a little help understanding whats happening to me.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Cherry angiomas are just dilated blood vessels. Usually the skin gets a bit lax and the blood vessels pop out and appear as cherry angiomas. they are usually not a sign of internal malignancy.
