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 for Angioma Removal Nik (Sydney) on 01/16/2017
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!

Tea tree oil and cream Boots have a 3 for 2 offer its £9 for 3 items. The cream is good as I can take to work and apply to my arms, I have been using for a few weeks so far I've bought from ebay cherry angioma remover £20, and Iodine tabs also £20 spent about £60 so far. Now I saw a doctor he told me I would only get rid of them private by laser treatment! I googled and believe I have an iodine deficiency so am taking I-throid iodine tablets they take months to work but read they do work and help the cherry angiomas go, I hope so I have over 100 all over that vary in shape/size. I've stopped swimming or going anywhere without a long sleeved top to hide them I wear trousers too. Not good as its summer.
Bromine is found in pools and it's used instead of chlorine. Funny how I got these after joining a local health club and using their pool. Iodine gets rid of bromine hence the tablets.
I'm depressed and they are multiplying and I'm stressed. If they so not go in a few months will go the laser route and will just have to pay £1,000 plus. Doctors should treat these on the NHS as not life threatening not important. Locum never asked me about my mental state or how I felt its bad enough being menopausal without these they will be gone before I go abroad next year. I only work part-time but we still have to pay same as everyone else for stuff.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Cherry Angioma Cherry (Saskatchewan, Canada) on 12/30/2015
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.

Warning
Going to try Apple Cider Vinegar next to see if I get any joy, will keep you posted.
I have so many big and small mainly over my torso and chest, but now on my legs - they are so unsightly. Had two burnt off at the doctors for free as they were causing health problems as they were in my armpit, took ages to heal but now just a small scar where they were, so going to try the doctors again but pay for it this time.

I'm amazed - the ACV actually works. I've had a red bump on my chin for years which I hated and been thinking about getting rid of it with laser. But then I read about using ACV and thought I may as well try - was a bit skeptical because I thought I would've heard about it before. I pricked it slightly with a pin and held an ACV soaked cotton ball on top on and off for like half a day. It turned white, then dark red (thought it didn't work), then black. In the evening it was just a small black scab, and not raised anymore. This was Sunday - on Tuesday evening the scab started peeling slightly and I know I should've left it but I was too impatient and peeled it off. It didn't bleed, and the area is red and irritated but there's no sign of a bump anymore. At least for now, it seems to have worked! It looks bad now because I must have held the ACV on top of normal skin too and that left some "burns", but that will go away soon enough. Remains to be seen if the effect lasts, but for now - wow!

I covered the angioma with duct tape. Today, two days later, I examined the site, discovered a soft blackened mass which just painlessly came off. I am delighted because the angioma was very painful when touched.

Bromine is found in:
When you ingest or absorb bromine, it displaces iodine, and this iodine deficiency leads to an increased risk for cancer of the breast, thyroid gland, ovary and prostate — cancers that we see at alarmingly high rates today. This phenomenon is significant enough to have been given its own name — the Bromide Dominance Theory.
Aside from its effects on your endocrine glands, bromine is toxic in and of itself. Bromide builds up in your central nervous system and results in many problems. It is a central nervous system depressant and can trigger a number of psychological symptoms such as acute paranoia and other psychotic symptoms.
Please read up on Bromine Poisoning, it can save your life.

So day by day, I would take a clean pin and prick the surface of the skin open. Then pour ACV over them with a clear make up pad. Many of them dried up! The larger ones however never did... but considering how many I had I am happy I got the ones that were visible on my arms off.
It did take about two weeks of doing it daily to see them disappear.

Thanks to my dad's side of the family, I am prone to developing cherry angioma. Among the many tiny tiny red dots that only I notice, there are two large ones on my chest the size of peppercorns. They have been there for about fifteen years. My father has the exact same sized cherry angiomas in the exact same places. It's pretty nuts. I've done my best to ignore them, but I'd be happier if they were gone.
Anywho, I started the pricking/ACV regimen about a week ago. I'll prick the angioma a couple times in different spots, wait until it bleeds, take a cotton ball soaked in ACV and use a bandaid to keep the cotton ball in contact with the angioma. I'll wear it as long as possible, most of the time overnight.
The slightly smaller of the two has turned completely black, and the edges have pulled away, revealing pink clear skin underneath. One more treatment, and I'm positive it'll fall off.
The larger one is fighting the treatment, but it's getting there. I prick the large one every time I put the ACV on (the smaller one only needed to be pricked one or two times). The center has finally turned black, with a white ring around it, but the edges in contact with the skin are still red. Fingers crossed this one dies off too.

I haven't tried any treatments yet, but I believe the ACV may be a good start.
