In France these are also known as Rubies, so I feel pretty rich looking at my body and counting the many little gems all across my body.

Girl, do not apologize for missing one week or even a few... We appreciate everything that you do for us!

[BriseisMusic]

Please don't apologize for missing last Saturday's video! You have your office, your skincare line, AND you're doing social media. That's a lot for anyone, and everyone deserves a break!

I did notice once menopause hit I suddenly had a ton of them show up on my abdomen. I had always one or two scattered around but nothing like this. Glad to know it’s nothing to worry about and that it is treatable if I want to. Thanks!

I had a cherry angioma on the tip of my nose and my laser tech (who was doing some laser hair removal on my face) just zapped it and it went away very quickly! I was so happy because it (to me) really impacted my appearance.

Interesting fact. I have a good amount of them and I’m colourblind. I can’t tell the difference between them and normal moles. Really important for guys who are colourblind to get some assistance in checking out their bodies from someone who isn’t colourblind

[janedoherty]

I can’t stand my cherry angiomas. All of a sudden I have a bunch of them. I’m going to go get them checked! Thank you so much!!!

[kelleywyskiel]

I suddenly got many of these during my cancer treatments and surgeries. Nobody ever acted like they were anything important when I asked about them. So this is super helpful.

[reneevandevander]

I started noticing small red spots on my shoulders and chest in my late twenties. I always wondered what they were. Thanks for solving the mystery!

[JC-ilor]

Great info. 5 years ago I was told "It is part of getting old". Basically to just live with it!! So good to hear I can be rid of these little bits. Thank you!!

[rebacarter]

YOUOUOUOU Totally not knocking my doctor because there are fantastic, and no doctor can know absolutely everything. I've been waiting for well over a decade trying to find the answer to what these little buggers

[callioscope]

I recently discovered that what I have on my forehead are two cherry angiomas. I hate that because they protrude, you cannot cover them. I am going to get them removed. Thank you for covering these. Mine came at around age 50–menopause came at age 57.

[beyondskin]

The number I have definitely increased over 50. Mine are all on my torso & they don’t really bother me. I kinda think they’re cute 🥰

[Peachy]

When I got into my mid forties I started getting them on my trunk. Now I am in my mid sixties and I have so many they are like freckles. Fortunately 95% are still on my trunk. I hate them but at this stage of life I may as well embrace them.

[moomoo]

I had one under my eye for as long as I can remember and it wasn’t painless, but it was removed with a laser. Also, important to note that if you have something pink that doesn’t go away, always let your doctor look at it first.

[margaretmacinnes]

Thank You So very helpful. I live in a rural area and the board certified Dermatologist said no need to do anything. They came suddenly and progressed over 1 1/2 years some disappeared as many others showed up on other parts of my body. Bless you and all
your hard work is much appreciated 🕊⭐️🌹

[palmtree]

Thank you so much for covering this topic I was searching for for years, and no one actually explained it. Everyone just mentions the spider ones. Great topic!

[cheetahtfk]

I'm so glad I stumbled across this video!! I've got literally hundreds of these on my arms and I had no idea what they were. Now I finally know!

[Khaleesi_Jack]

OMFG.
I have wondered about these for YEARS.
This is my first video of this lovely Dr to have wandered into my algorithm and I could not be more appreciative!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. 😂😭🙏

I had one on my cheek that got scratched and started bleeding. It was very sensitive and if it got bumped when getting dressed or washing it would bleed. Every time it bled it would grow, until it was like a skin tag. I had it cut out by an ENT. He did an excellent job and no one notices the scar.
