Could These Symptoms Be A Sign Of Cancer ?

Posted on Fri, 14 Mar 2025

Question: When I was young and in teens I had one cherry angioma on my right side breast. And I had that only till age 32 and now I am 35 years old and on the same breast with i have got 3 cherry angiomas with gap of 5cm and one small then after few cm one more and after few cm one more like in line and I also noticed two more cherry angiomas below my navel and all are with gap of 3 or 5cm and two on left hand on Bicep brachii….so now i am worried now why it has been increased? The reason i dont know also I do-not smoke but I do drink alcohol in weekends whisky. Also i take multivitamins… I have no child never given birth also… and my mcv mch levels were low for which I took 5 months ferrous supplements suggested by doctor.

I know its harmless nothing to worried as mentioned on the internet butI am worried why me why it i creased on my body. Could it be a sign of cancer ? Or breast cancer?

Also recently I had my PAP test and that is also came normal.

Pls help and tell me the reason of increasing and how to control this.

I used to be 84kg 5 years ago then i reduce to 65 kg in 2020 i excercise and maintain my weight to 64kg afterwards since 2021 I started gaining my weight and i am now 84kg.

Also is it true high esteogen level also cause cherry angiomas ?

I drink alcohol on weekends therefore os it possible this is happening because of all these ?

But my concern is this because of alcohol whisky intake that i take 375ml on Friday and 375ml Saturday ?

Or
If it is estrogen fluctuations and what test should I go for to confirm this?

What are the supplements to control?

Also when I was young and 19 years old I had only one cherry angioma till the age 33years.

Now I got 8 cherry angiomas far away from each other.

I try to upload the photo but is not uploading.

Brief Answer:
As detailed

Detailed Answer:
You have cherry angiomas and also take alcohol. The possibility is there but you are taking alcohol only on 2 days a week. You might have taking alcohol far before development of additional angiomas. Of course alcohol as such is not good.
There is still no known surest cause of development of cherry angiomoa. Hence all are our assumptions.
There are no known supplements to control.
You can go for tests of blood for estrogen and liver function tests.
Since this is benign you can get them treated if you wish to.
Photos awaited.
Take care, do not stress-out .
I hope this answer further helps you.

True ! i know that i can get them treated through laser and nitrogen liquid by esthetician. But concern is whats behind that causing them as in my family nobody has it and I hd since I was teen.

I had one on my left breast when I was kid and as I grew it gets more when i was 31 i got total 3 now as I got 36 I got almost 8.

So my concern is there must be some thing that can prove ?

Also i dont know people who had this whats happen to them later age.

I have never seen so many of these on anyone elses

Brief Answer:
No need to be so much anxious.

Detailed Answer:
There are many things including cherry angiomas wherein the exact cause is not know, hence the theories go on.
Since this is a benign problem why are you so much anxious?
There is no need to be. The possible causes are so many.
For example: You find easily on internet.
If you have any other symptoms or signs then consult your Doctor to get investigated if he/she can agree to.

How would you see so many of these on anyone else.
So stop worrying and get these treated if you want to .
