Usually cherry angiomas run in families. They are harmless but can be zapped and heal over with cautery or laser.
You should have a thorough skin evaluation once a year by a physician to make sure no malignant growths. But cherry angiomas are not cancerous, they are overgrowths of tiny blood vessels.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information or clarification.
