Hi Boy we all get lumps, bumps, spots etc at some point so try not to worry. Maybe it's best not to look up every symptom you have because it just seemd to worry you more.
Try not to worry and I hope it clears up soon for you


Take care

I've got lots of these on my stomach and arms, doctor once told me you start to get them in your 30's. Saying that i have a large one at the nape of my neck which i'm now convinced has got bigger :(

hey, its funny you posted about this, cos i saw this on another site a couple of days ago, i have a lot of these, seems like most people do. This is what the other site said:

Cherry angioma is the most common kind of angioma. It is also called a Senile angioma.

Structure
These are made up of clusters of tiny capillaries at the surface of the skin, and range in color from bright red to purple. When they first develop, they may only be a few millimeters across, but sometimes grow to a centimeter or more in diameter. As they grow larger, they tend to expand in thickness, and may take on the raised and rounded shape of a dome. Because the blood vessels comprising the angioma are so close to the skin's surface, cherry angiomas may bleed profusely if they are injured. For this reason, removal of a cherry angioma should take place under a doctor's care.

Aren't i a sad case giving you a scientific explanation!
Nothing to worry about though (and believe me i worry about everything)
Take care,

thank you strawberrie that explanation will save me googling and coming up with anything else potentially life threatening.
