: suggest that you inquire if treatment for these small angiomas exists such as laser or electrocautery for your cosmetic concerns with either your original urologist or another doc for a 2nd opinion.

Burst capillary blood is gradually absorbed so I doubt if it is that, If you've had it for so long then it does not sound serious. However I suggest you see a dermatologist for another opinion
