Hi dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
The lump as you mention in query is seems to be a cherry angioma . A cherry angioma is a noncancerous (benign) skin growth made up of blood vessels. They are also known as senile angiomas or Campbell de Morgan spots . This type of skin growth is typically not a cause for concern unless it bleeds often or changes in size, shape, or color.I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination and to rule out condition like cyst . There are few treatment option which doctor can opt for its treatment like :-
- Electrocauterization , this is surgical method of treatment involves burning the angioma by using an electric current .
- Cryosurgery using pulsed dye laser .
- Excision also known as shave excision.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
