Brief Answer:
Seems to be cherry angioma, no need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your complaints it seems to be cherry angioma which are benign tumors of the vessels.
They are very common in middle aged and elderly and are harmless growths.
No need to worry.
