Cherry Angioma & Petechiae

Two types of conditions cause these spots:

Cherry Angioma

These small, red bumps or growths can show up anywhere on your body, but they’re more common on or near your chest, belly, and back. They don’t hurt, but they might bleed if they get hit or scraped. They’re usually fine left alone, Cherry angiomas are the most common type of angioma. They are not cancerous or harmful. They are small—anywhere from the size of a pinhead to about one-fourth inch. Although they are usually bright red (as their name implies), they can also be bluish, purple, or almost black

Use frequency set
Angioma: 0.17, 0.24, 0.7, 0.83, 2.5, 17.5, 432.5, 555.91, 625.28, 775.52

Petechiae

Red spots on the skin that occur singly can be a small benign tumor of blood vessels, known as a hemangioma. Tiny, pinpoint hemorrhages can be seen in the skin and are referred to as petechiae.  They’re not a disease, but a symptom. A number of things can cause them to happen, from a severe coughing fit to an infection. Often, petechiae are nothing to worry about.

Petechiae: 0.17, 0.22, 0.72, 125.88, 236.71, 336, 421.04, 571.67, 681.53, 702.03

Both conditions produce very similar spots.   Generally not anything to be concerned with.

Only with an identification of “petechiae” would you consider that the spots are a symptom of another disorder, rather than being a random appearance.  Petechiae is a reaction to an illness, a flu, infection or similar,, where the Cherry Angioma appears just randomly and are unrelated to anything in particular.
