Angiomas are benign growths made up of small blood vessels. They can appear anywhere on the body. The three most common types are spider angiomas, angiokeratomas, and cherry angiomas.

Occasionally, an angioma may become irritated from external factors such as rubbing against clothing and can be removed to avoid further problems. However, since the majority of angiomas are harmless, most people have them treated for cosmetic reasons.

Angioma Removal and Treatment

The most common way to remove angiomas is electrodesiccation, which uses an electric needle to destroy the blood vessels in the growth.

Dermatology Associates of Northeast Georgia has convenient locations to assist with angiomas.
