What are angiomas?
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.
Cherry angiomas are red or purplish in color and don't usually grow larger than 1/4-inch in diameter. They can appear alone or in clusters. They are not dangerous.
What causes cherry angiomas?
No one knows what causes angiomas. Since they commonly appear after the age of 40, they may be related to aging.
What is the treatment?
Occasionally angiomas may become irritated (such as from rubbing against clothing) and need to be removed to avoid further problems. However, since most angiomas are harmless, most people have them treated for cosmetic reasons.
There are three ways to have angiomas removed:
- Electrodessication uses an electric needle to destroy the blood vessels in the growth.
- Liquid nitrogen is a cold gas applied to the skin to freeze off the growth.
- Laser treatment uses a beam of intense, focused light to remove the growth.
If an angioma recurs after treatment, your physician can repeat treatment until it is gone for good.

Dear Friends
Our goal at NYC Dermatology is to be the Tiffanys of Skin
Care. I personally see every new patient who visits our office. I am not just a physician, I am a Board Certified Dermatologist. My goal is, quite simply, to provide the type of dermatologic care which I would seek for my own family. This is a very important point, since physicans often use the phrase "Doctor's Doctor" to refer to those individuals who typically are selected by physicians themselves for personal care. I am confident that my practice fully meets that definition. This is the type of 5-star care and service that our patients expect, deserve and receive. I treat every patient the way I would want to be treated: with courtesy, dignity and respect. I carefully listen to their skin-care concerns and offer a variety of options including a treatment plan that I believe will give them the best results. We also support our patients with a very fine medical staff . Please take a moment to explore our top of the line winning website. My philosophy is simple…Experience Counts and Quality Matters. Please allow me to solve your skin problems. After all, at NYC Dermatology , our philosophy is if you look great you will feel great with gorgeous skin.”
Best Regards,
Dr. Rothfeld
