Cherry angiomas are small lesions typically found on torsos, arms, and legs. They are:

Round

2-4mm in size

Light to dark red

The term "cherry" refers to their color and the fact they typically form in groups.

Cherry angiomas have an unknown direct cause. However, factors that contribute to cherry angiomas include:

Aging

Pregnancy (hormones)

Genetic mutations

Chemical exposure

Cherry angiomas do not require treatment. However, they can be removed for cosmetic reasons.
