What are angiomas and what do they look like?

Angiomas are benign growths made up of small blood vessels that can appear on the skin or internal organs. They typically present as red, purple, or blue spots or lesions and can vary in size from very small to several centimeters in diameter. Common types include cherry angiomas, which are bright red and often develop with age, and spider angiomas, which have a central red spot with radiating blood vessels. While they are usually harmless, any changes in appearance should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
