    In case you didn’t already know, your skin is the largest organ on your body. It helps you regulate your body temperature and protects your body from the wear and tear of life in general. And that’s why it’s so important to take care of it the best you can.

    One way to do that is to be consistent with wearing sunscreen and regularly use moisturizer. Another way to protect your skin is to be vigilant with your attention to any changes in your skin tone and texture.

    While most of us can recognize freckles, moles and scars, there are other marks on your skin that may leave you questioning whether or not what your seeing is normal. Skin tags, rosacea and psoriasis are all normal conditions that can be diagnosed by a dermatologist and treated easily.

    But what about other skin issues that aren’t as easily recognizable, like those tiny bright red dots on your chest or abdomen? Before you start surfing the Internet for four hours for “research” that could make your head spin, take a deep breath and relax, because what you’re most likely looking at are harmless cherry angioma.

    Cherry angioma are actually very common and are nothing more than broken blood vessels under the surface of your skin. Unless they tend to bleed a lot, they don’t need to be removed. However, should you want the non-cancerous dots removed, there is little to no scarring.

    So now that you know about cherry angioma you can finally put your mind at ease.

    Cherry Angioma Are A Common Skin Condition Characterized By Tiny Red Dots, The Broken Blood Vessels Are Harmless
    Often Confused With Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis (Inflammation Of The Capillaries As A Result Of Infection), The Condition Is Treatable
    Not To Be Confused With A Rash…
    …Or A Mosquito Bite, Either. But It’s Best To See Your Doctor To Confirm A Diagnosis And Treatment
