What are all of the major differences between petechiae and a cherry angioma?

A cherry angioma is a benign growth of tiny blood vessels(capillaries). They don't clear up or disappear. Petichiae form from leakage of blood from tiny blood vessels, gradually fade and clear up completely after several days. There are various causes of petchiae.

Please help! what is the difference between a cherry angioma and petechiae?
Do cherry angiomas appear, disappear, and reappear in new places? Do they appear in multiple numbers? I just had 8 more appear overnight on one arm and others disappear. My doctor says they are cherry angiomas. I believe they are petechiae?
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?
