Is it possible for a cherry angioma to develop into a skin cancer?

Doctor's Answer

Cherry angiomas are red mole-like bumps that are benign. It can usually be left alone. If desired, it can also be removed by laser. While cherry angiomas are benign, it is good to consult a doctor if you are concerned if a lump is indeed a cherry angioma or skin cancer. The doctor would assess the lump and send it for a biopsy if necessary.
