It is safe to take a shower. Do not rub the affected areas too hard when drying yourself. Wish you good health!

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?
