Cherry Angioma - Editor's Choice

Cherry angiomas, similar to warts, are red in appearance because they are growths with many blood vessels in them. While their appearance may be disturbing, these growths are benign. Cherry angiomas generally respond favorably to home remedies, most of which are quite inexpensive. Apple cider vinegar, iodine, and tea tree essential oils can be used to treat cherry angiomas naturally. Additionally, avoiding bromine may be the most important solution for cherry angiomas.

Home Remedies for Cherry Angiomas

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can be used to treat cherry angiomas topically. Raw and organic apple cider vinegar is applied to the angiomas until they change color and fall off on their own.

Wart Remedies for Cherry Angiomas

Cherry angiomas often respond to the same remedies used to treat warts. Duct tape can be used to keep the angiomas covered until they fall off. This remedy is very inexpensive and easy to use. If you have sensitive skin, however, duct tape may be an irritation to the healthy skin around the angiomas you are treating.

Over the counter products used to treat warts may work for cherry angiomas as well.  This solution may be more suited to a few isolated angiomas, as treating large amounts of skin could get expensive. Also the using a large amount of a chemical wart remover on the skin may pose risk.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree essential oil is an oil that can be used neat (undiluted on the skin.) However, for people with sensitive skin, diluting it first is a good idea. It can be diluted with a carrier oil like olive oil, castor oil or coconut oil. Use a q-tip to apply the oil to the cherry angiomas twice a day.

Cherry Angiomas, Iodine, and Bromine Poisoning

Cherry angiomas may be caused by bromine poisoning. Bromine is an element that can be toxic to the body. (Bromide is derived from bromine; both bromide and bromine are a problem.) Unfortunately, bromine overexposure if very common.

Bromine is found in food as a preservative, especially breads and pastries. It is also in soda pop. Bromine is found in flame retardant clothing and materials. Sometimes it is used in hot tubs or swimming pools in place of chlorine. It is also in some prescription drugs and plastics.

Bromine competes with iodine in your body. Iodine is necessary for they thyroid to function properly. It is important for breast health and many other body functions.

Reducing exposure to bromine is important and may take some creativity and research. Supplementing your body with iodine will help to replace the iodine displaced by the bromine. Start with a small amount of iodine and increase the amount you take to reduce the risk of a detox reaction. Iodine will help your body to detox from bromine and also from fluoride and heavy metals.

Iodoral or Lugol's Iodine are two good sources of iodine in supplement form. Kelp and other sea vegetables are another source of iodine. Unfortunately, if have cherry angiomas because of excess bromine, it may take a while to heal if you choose kelp or seaweed supplements since the amount of iodine in them will not be as high as of that in an iodine supplement.

If you decided to take iodine for your cherry angiomas, you may be surprised to find that other vague health problems begin to disappear as well. If your cherry angiomas are caused by a lack of iodine, the iodine deficiency has likely caused other health problems as well.

Please read more about supplementing with iodine and companion nutrients that work will with iodine, and in fact, help it to work more effectively in your body.

Cauterization with a Pinhead

I had Angiokeratoma of Fordyce (or angiokeratoma of the scrotum and vulva) for years and started to become more spots. It is familiar with cherry angioma. I didn't pierce the with a needle but just cauterized them with a pin just like this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOfunkAxTpY

I used a gas stove in order to heat the pin. There is a little pain and you don't have to be afraid for burning too much the skin because a pin has only enough thermal capacity for two quick zaps. The small dots needed one zap the bigger two. Some small dots made a pop sound from evaporation and disappeared immediately. Some very big spots turned more black and a little bigger after zapping but this was not something to worry about because this meant that the scabbing precess had begun and in about four days they fell off as a scab. I put castor oil and argan oil every day in order not to leave marks of burning but already they healed very good. If you take a shower 1 or 2 days after the zapping the small wounds might open a little an leave some marks on the underwear.

I had a collet tool in order to hold the pin.

I had them for years and this method was perfect and without side effects. I had tried chestnut oil before months in order to make the veins stronger but with no result.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Brilliant! I've always had a small Angioma on my chest which got a lot bigger during pregnancy and would often bleed. It ended up being larger that tip of a cotton bud. I had gone to doctors to get it checked out and she confirmed just an Angioma, but she wasn't really sure how to go about removing it without excessive bleeding or scarring! I put up with it for a couple of years, never wearing low cut or strapless tops as it was very noticeable and impossible to cover with concealer! A few weeks ago I came across the apple cider remedy and thought I'd give it ago.

I pricked it with a needle and applied apple cider vinegar with a cotton bud for around 15 minutes 3 times a day. The Angioma started turning black and dry looking after 3 days then by 1 week the whole thing was black and starting to lift up at the sides! By day 10 the scab fell off revealing a small patch of flat red irritated looking skin. No more Angioma!

I've been using coconut oil on scar everyday and it's practically gone! Amazing, I should of done this years ago!

I did spill the apple cider vinegar onto the surrounding skin which made it a bit burnt and irritated but that went away after a few days! I'm glad I persisted with this treatment as I was worried when it started to turn really black and scabby and wanted to stop the treatment.

This really works and I'm so happy to feel less self conscious and able to wear strappy tops and swimmers again!

Apple Cider Vinegar

I tried the apple cider vinegar remedy for a 2mm Cherry angioma on my right cheek. It removed the angioma and is still healing, I am waiting to see if any scar is left behind (I am using bio oil daily).

A couple of things I would do differently if I had to do this again is to try in every way possible to make sure the ACV is only applied to the angioma. At the beginning, I was just using a makeup cotton pad under a bandaid and it was touching unaffected skin and it damaged it. What I ended up doing is using petroleum jelly to protect good skin, and also cutting a small piece of cotton pad that was soaked in ACV applying it to the angioma (only the angioma not touching any other skin) and then putting a bandaid over that to keep it in place.

Other than that, the other comments are accurate to what happens: angioma turns black, dries, scabs, scab falls off, it starts healing.

I don't know how people applied Apple cider vinegar for a whole day. I did the 20-30 min. Once or twice a day for a week (pricked the angioma with a sterilized pin on the first application). By the end of the week there was a slight stinging sensation but I'm not sure if that was the angioma or if it was the good skin that I had damaged.

I will try to post whether or not a scar was left behind since not too many posts have a follow up on that.

I'm not saying that people should try this, I just wanted to give an account of my experience.
