Often there is confusion between red moles, blood moles and the various angiomas. The point is, one would like to know how they differ from each other, how to remove them and whether they pose any risk. In general, angiomas are benign (non-malignant) growths that consist of small blood and lymphatic vessels. These are some of the most commonly occurring skin lesions. As well, they pose no known health risks, and when removed, this usually happens for cosmetic reasons only. Some of the prevalent types are these:
1. Cherry Angioma (CA) is a dome-shaped lesion, usually bright red. It can occur anywhere on the body, usually on the trunk. It usually consists of clusters of tiny capillaries that have a weakened wall, thus leaking some blood. CAs are usually small, with a diameter of a few millimeters to a centimeter at most. They develop close to the surface of the skin, become filled with blood and, therefore, can bleed profusely if physically removed. Thus these are not moles. They are small red points on the skin, sometimes lots of them. They resemble red pin-pricks and are benign and entirely harmless. CAs are clusters of tiny capillaries. They often become more numerous with advancing age. For a visual display, one can find images of typical CAs over the Internet.
2. Spider Angioma (SA) is often found in the epidermis of pregnant women. It is often caused by estrogen levels during pregnancy. It can also occur in others due to impaired liver function. There is usually a red center from which spider-like extensions radiate in all directions.
3. Cavernous Hemangioma (CH) is a vascular malformation of the vascular feeding arteries and draining veins of the normal diameter blood vessels. Tumors within the soft texture can also become hard. Calcification of the lesion as well as blood clots within the brain tissue, can lead to deposits of yellow iron hemoglobin. This type of iron-containing hemoglobin in the cerebral cortex, caused by CH, could even be one of the reasons for epilepsy. CH can occur in the central nervous system such as any part of the brain cortex, basal ganglia and brain stem and other parts (brain lesions), and middle cranial fossa, and skull and other parts of the retina (outside the brain lesion).
Removal of cherry angiomas: As already indicated, these blood-filled lesions can bleed profusely when one attempts to pinch them, cut them, prick them, or otherwise remove them physically. Therefore, these removal methods will not succeed. Various safe removal techniques used by dermatologists include cryosurgery, electrosurgery or laser treatment. Home removal, although they take more time, is often preferable to such drastic techniques. Of the many such treatments, a pasted mix of fresh basil leaves and sandalwood tends to clear the skin of oils that clog up sebaceous glands, regarded as the main reason for the condition. A range of other treatments are also contained within the author's electronic 'e-Book' on the subject of various home remedies.
