Question 1

how can i remove hemangiomas or cherry angiomas at home? mine is in the face, under the left eye. what treatments (aside from burning them) can i do myself without seeing a dermatologist? is there any way i could get rid of them fast?

Accepted Answer

: You should not attempt to remove or treat a hemangioma on your own. These are usually benign and do not cause functional disability. See a vascular surgeon or dermatologist specializing in these problems. Self treatment may result in scarring, bleeding, pain, or infection if not done properly and on the face may result in disfigurement or effect the eye. Safe, effective treatment is available!

Question 2

how can i get rid of cherry angiomas myself?

Accepted Answer

Laser Rx of Angiomas: Nd:Yag laser like Diolite, Candella tunable Dye laser, BBL and other lasers take care of cherry angiomas

Question 3

i'm 30 and have a lot of flat cherry angiomas hey are tiny not raised is there any way to get rid of them does taking iodine get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

Cherry angiomas: I do not believe that ingesting iodine would get rid of them. Your dermatologist can  burn them off easily.

Question 4

the doctor removed the cherry angiomas and other moles on my scalp, face and some parts of my body last day via electrosurgery. when can i take shower? 24 hours after the treatment is enough?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, you can do it if you have to or you can wait another day.

Question 5

are cherry angiomas hereditary? my mom has a lot, and i'm developing new ones frequently as i get older. are they really a sign of internal malignancy

Accepted Answer

Dont worry: A sudden outbreak of a great many seborrheic keratoses warns of internal malignancy ("sign of leser-trelat") but this is not true of common cherry angiomas. If you want, a physician who's invested in a laser can remove them easily.

Question 6

about how much would it cost to get a cherry angioma removed?

Accepted Answer

Probably not much: If you have a small angioma that is not connected to larger underlying vein trouble that also needs to be treated, then treatment should be quick, easy, and not very costly.

Question 7

according to some chinese dr online if you have  cherry angiomas they mean you have high estrogen and will you get cancer is this true?

Accepted Answer

Angioma: A cherry angioma is a mole-like skin growth made up of small blood vessels, or capillaries. Cherry angiomas are related to aging and tend to increase in number with age. Don't worry

Question 8

is it possible to get a cherry angioma under tongue?have little red dot and worried again cause online chinese medicine says it means high estrogen

Accepted Answer

Have it checked: Everything is possible. Have it checked as it might be squamous cell carcinoma or some other cancer especially if you are over 40 and smoked or drank alcohol for many years

Question 9

are you sure cherry angiomas are not caused by estrogen attacking blood vessels. i have some on breast worried get cancer?

Accepted Answer

Angiomas: "Cherry angiomata" are not pre-cancerous.  They are not due to estrogen "attacking" blood vessels, but represent simple excess growth of tiny blood vessels under the skin, which become visible. They are of no medical concern, just cosmetic.

Question 10

what is a cherry angioma?

Accepted Answer

Benign blood vessel: Cherry angiomas or hemangiomas are little, bright red, pinpoint to match head sized, flat spots that over time, become raised, more dome shaped and actually begin to look like a cherry.  They are benign.  A nice description of cherry hemangoimas can be seen at:
