Angiomas

Angiomas are benign growths that clinically present themselves on the surface of the skin as red bumps or papules. They are derived from cells of the vascular or lymphatic vessel walls (endothelium)

Angiomas are a frequent occurrence as patients age, and they might be an indicator of systemic problems such as liver disease. They are not commonly associated with malignancy. When they are removed, it is generally for cosmetic reasons. They may be removed by laser or a small surgical procedure.
