Question 1

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 2

i've been getting small cherry angiomas on breast and stomach why? and  according to chinese medicine this means breast or ovarian issues is this true

Accepted Answer

These just happen: Nobody knows why cherry angiomas pop up when or where they do. "Traditional Chinese medicine" is not rigorous science and if you have no evidence of breast disease or ovarian problems, accept this rather than feel you need some "traditional" treatment for disease that is not present.

Question 3

anyone else know about venous angioma?

Accepted Answer

More info please: Unfortunately, i'm not sure what you would like to know.  A venous angioma could be anything from a little cluster of spider veins to a significant venous malformation.  Can you give us a little more information so we can better answer your question for you?

Question 4

can a spider angioma disappear on its own?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: What would be necessary would for something to stop the veins from filling.  I guess any injury to the skin that would result in enough to make the blood clot in the fine veins would do it.  Technically then the body would remove the veins as it removed the clotted blood.

Question 5

what is the definition or description of: angioma?

Accepted Answer

Blood vessel tumor: An angioma is any overgrowth of blood vessels in one area in excess of the metabolic needs of the tissue at that point.  They can be tiny as in the cherry angiomas on the skin of older folks, or large disfiguring the skin or growing into organs and causing displacement and dysfunction.  They can sometimes blood and sometimes become malignant.

Question 6

is it possible for me to know how many times my cavernous angioma has bled?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding angioma: Unless you have had episodes during which you were symptomatic of the hemorrhage, it will take neuroimaging such as cat scan or MRI to help in defining the number of times.

Question 7

Blood Vessels: Spider angiomas are abnormal collection of blood vessels of the skin with a red dot in the center and radiating smaller vessels that resemble a spider.

They are commonly found on the face, neck, and hands and can occur at any age.  Since they are benign, no treatment is necessary.  Many resolve spontaneously.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Angiomas: Angiomas are benign lesions composed of dilated tiny blood vessels(capillaries) and most turn white or blanch when pressed. However, cherry angiomas don't blanch. A dermatologist can evaluate and validate the diagnosis if you have concerns.

Question 9

No: These are benign vascular skin lesions in older folks most common on the midsection.  They do not hurt unless irritated externally.
