Warning

Hi All, I tried the You-tube video where you heat a paper clip and pop them with short little tapping motions on the cherry angiomas. Looked so good I tried it on around 10 on the top of my thighs ranging from small to large 3-4mm ones. The small ones seemed to turn white straight away, so I thought great and continued with them all. The following two days my spots were much larger, swollen and darker, hoped this meant they would eventually scab over, fall off and disappear. 5 days down the line I am scared that I may have made things worse, ones that weren't so small are now double in size and show no evidence of scabbing over at all, they just look like much larger cherry angiomas. A few of the smaller ones have gone really dark almost black in colour and seem to have scabbed over a little, one actually bled a little this morning when part of the scab came off. I am hoping these ones will go after the scab drops off but I am not hopeful considering the larger ones are even larger. - Not happy - try at your peril.

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 and my sister used a needle. Worked like magic on small and medum size angiomas. Give few days to heal.

Thanks for your reply Sam, a couple of the scabbed over smaller ones have had no change, scab came off and cherry angioma exactly the same underneath. Am now trying Apple Cider Vinegar which seems to be working at the moment. A larger sticking out cherry angioma on the inside of my thigh had no change once the scab fell off from burning and it bled a little, so I applied the ACV and it went black and dried up almost immediately. Waiting for the scab to finally come off to see if it has worked, but it has definitely flattened out so worked in one way :-)

Hi-- I removed a lot of cherry angiomas on my torso about 3 weeks ago with the hot paperclip. The angiomas seem to be gone, however I have red scar like marks now that might be worse than the angiomas! Most of them scabbed over, some still have scabs and I have been trying to treat these with all sorts of natural and store bought products. I have used vitamin E, aloe, shea butter, cocoa butter, calamine lotion (which is soothing and covers them so they don't look so red), and today I bought Cicatricure gel which is supposed to reduce the scars. We'll see. I am not happy with these results and just hope that these red scars will fade with time. I really didn't see many warnings or discussion about the aftermath of using the hot paperclip...Has anyone else had this result? Have the scars gotten better over time?

DON'T Touch CALAMINE Lotion! It causes scarring!!! That is why we are now unable to buy it in NZ... Yes it stopped itches, but the worsened scarring it caused was too much of an issue.
