Cherry Angiomas

Usually bright red in appearance and typically growing up to a few millimetres in diameter, cherry angiomas – sometimes referred to as Campbell de Morgan spots – are benign growths often found on the chest, stomach and back.

It is largely agreed that these normally harmless tumours are more likely to develop on people over the age of 30 and they have also been known to increase in size over time. Their development is seldom an indication of anything serious and some studies have suggested that they occur in almost 50% of all adults.
