Specializes in Psychiatry

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

A member asked:

Are petechiae in clusters? I have a few tiny flat red dots, unconnected, on my arms or legs, and a single tiny one on my foot. I see dermatologist regularly, and he says I have cherry angiomas, but those tiny isolated dots are flat. Still cherry?
