Q: Cherry angiomas? or Birthmark?
asked by: DoctorQuestion on October 31st, 2006
I am asking about some red spots that have develpoed on my chest and back. They remind me of a birth mark my son had when he was born, red, smooth, slightly raised... almost like a neddle prick that caused bleeding right under the skin. My sons birthmark went away by the tiem he was 2 years old. The marks I have on me have just recently appeared and approx. 10-15 new spots that I hadn't noticed until recently. They don't itch, they are symectrical, vary in size but generally small about the size a dull pencil. HWat are these and why would they just appear out of no where. I read something about a "cherry angiomas"... what is this?
I'd appreciate any feed back.

Thanks

Skin conditions must be seen to establish a correct diagnosis. You can go to a dermatologist for an examination. I can’t speculate about any diagnosis, including cherry angiomas.
