Is it a cherry angioma? Harmless and normal. Dh has tons!

Yes I’ve just looked that up! Potentially yes! I originally thought it was an in growing hair so picked at it and it went and then came back same as before. Better keep an eye but it does sound like a cherry angioma thank you

Looks like a cherry angioma. I have one in exactly the same place that looks identical. I have hundreds, ranging from tiny to quite big.
