I have had these starting since I was about 25. 28 now and I've got probably close to 40 or more between both my upper arms. It seems the research really hasn't been done for their presence in younger adults. Every place I've looked it seems many people under 30 get these but the top articles say they start at 30.

My dermatologist is 70+ seen it all during his career…I’m 31 had like 6-7 of them in the past 3-4 months.doc told me not to worry about them and they usually are passed down from one of the parents. He said not to worry they are harmeless and if I dont like them he can electrocauterize them(remove them)

I removed mine with a red hot pin head.

Yeah these have made me pretty self conscious. I got my first one on my arm when I was about 16 and now at 29, I have about 10 of them in various spots. Never bothered to get em removed, but it is good to know that they are benign.

[sljohnsen]

[carolinefoey]

[Hailstonepie]

Painless and lazer removal in the same sentence ?

[Dhirajkumar-mdxu]

What are the etiologies behind these cherry angiomas??

[chrischarlesparanormaladve]

I have 6 of them on my left bicep. It's a relief to know they harmless.

I've caught one once. Bled for ages.

[keithuk]

I have a really annoying one in the middle of my chest. Yes my mum passed it down to me...

Could you add pictures to your videos, cause sometimes I have no clue what you mean. I think that adding pics will make your videos so much better.

[babykaundal]

Many many thanks doc. My wife had them on the back of the torso. Now her forearms has developed many tiny red spots which we think will get raised with the passage of time. We read some stuff on the internet regarding Cherry Angiomas and we thought that it is a form of skin cancer. We have been under strees since last few weeks . But we are not now. Thanks again .

[visualvirtue]

Could you add a few pics of what you are talking about when you make these vids?

[letyourlightshine]

Omg doctor I'm getting a few and im so sad every time I get a new one I'm gonna go see my derma to remove them
