Cherry angiomas are made up of clusters of capillaries at the surface of the skin forming a
small round dome ("papule"), which may be flat topped. They range in color from bright
red to purple. When they first develop, they may be only a tenth of a millimeter in diameter
and almost flat, appearing as small red dots. However, they then usually grow to about one
or two millimeters across, and sometimes to a centimeter or more in diameter. As they
grow larger, they tend to expand in thickness, and may take on the raised and rounded
shape of a dome. Multiple adjoining angiomas are said to form a polypoid angioma.
Because the blood vessels comprising an angioma are so close to the skin's surface, cherry
angiomas may bleed profusely if they are injured. The SKIN CLASSIC will dehydrate the
tissue, and discourage bleeding at the same time.
