Hi.
As per your case history you are having cherry angioma.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. It is a benign condition. So don't worry.
3. You can apply beta blocker drops like timolol drops on the lesions twice daily.
4. Other treatment options are cauterization and laser ablation done by a dermato-surgeon.
Thanks.
