What is a cherry angioma?

Cherry angiomas are small, pinhead-like lesions on your skin that appear most commonly on your torso, arms and legs of your body. Cherry angiomas are:

• Round.
• About 2 millimeters (mm) to 4 mm in size.
• Light to dark red.

The term “cherry” references their color and appearance on the skin, as angiomas typically form in groups.
