How to Get Rid of Cherry Angiomas without going to the Doctor?

The best way to get rid of Cherry Angiomas is to get them V-Beam lasered off by a dermatologist. It usually costs about $200 for a treatment.

However, if you want to get rid of them at home you can use a High-Temperture cautery pen to slightly burn the skin to remove them. This will usually make smaller cherry angiomas go away, or at least not get any bigger. Your best bet for removing larger cherry angionas is with the V-Beam laser.

Apple Cider Vinegar has been known to remove cherry angiomas, but can take 1 month or more and can leave a lasting burn from the ACV. You also have to poke the skin of cherry angiomas to break it open so ACV gets in. Using ACV is not a great way to remove cherry angiomas, and it might not produce any results.

It takes less than 15 minutes at a dermatologist to use a V-Beam laser to remove cherry angiomas, and will produce the best results, so it's best to just go to the doctor. Health insurance will usually not cover cherry angiomas being removed.

I tried the whole lulu thing...burned it with end of a safety pin...(my cherry angioma was the size of half a pencil eraser) and only a bit of it turned black....so nothing happened. I then tried to burn areas of it throughout the week until the whole thing turned black. Today it is a week later...and only the top layer of the cherry angioma came off and underneath it was a bloody mess, but still an intact cherry angioma. I guess I'm supposed to slowly burn off layers? I don't know...nobody has really written about the healing/death process of the cherry angioma after burning it...please help.

I used burning method describe above and got lots of black stops (burned angiomas). It has been three weeks from the day I did the procedure, and burned/black angiomas don't go anywhere. Please advise what happened with your black spots .

I used the burning method on one the size of a small pencil eraser. The process to heal took weeks, so don't be discouraged!

Mine was on my inner thigh, and so was an issue when shaving my legs. I used my metal tweezers (flat edge, stainless steel) heated with a match and I could feel it sizzle. Did not hurt.

Then the scab formed, and the area around the CA got very "angry". I could actually see the veins that were feeding the CA under my skin.

Because of the size, the CA scabbed over about 3 times. Each time I thought for sure it was going to get infected because it looked so angry and it hurt. But now, the area is almost completely flat, the CA is now a flesh colored lump that gets flatter every day.

I am thrilled I found this page!

I found this video to remove them DIY..works :)

Ira - did the black spots eventually fade away? I had the same thing happen to me, and now I'm worried they won't fade anytime soon. I used the burning method 2 weeks ago and now I have 24 small black spots, actually they're red spots with a black scab in the middle, and it looks terrible. I'm going on vacation in 6 weeks and I'm afraid they won't fall off/fade away before then. By the way, it's embarrassing that I have 24 black spots on the front of my body and about 30 bright red spots on my back. I don't know anyone who I'd be comfortable asking to do my back and I'd almost rather have the red spots than black scabs all over my back at the beach.

I tried Lulu's suggestion last night on 2 that are on my face,,1 is very tiny the size of a pin and the other is alittle larger but both are under the skin slightly raised.. I used the end of a safety pin and burned it till it got really hot I set it on the bigger one and it looks as though there is a hole in it,, it didn't bleed and it did not scab,, is this normal ? the 2nd 1 I used the tip of the safety pin, this one instantly disappeared and is slightly black not bad..Im more concerned about the bigger one that left the hole.. Will this heal ? Ugh now im scared it will scar or the hole will not go away

I don't know how anyone says this doesn't hurt? It was unbelievably painful to hold hot metal to my skin. wow!!! I tried on a couple, so I'll see. I can't tolerate the pain so I'm going to a dermatologist and have them removed with numbing cream first. good luck everyone. I hate these things, they seemed to pop up overnight.

I burned it off with the head of a metal nail that was the same size of my angioma. First I wiped the nail clean with rubbing alcohol, then I heated the nail head over the stove burner for about 8-10 seconds. Then I pushed it against the angioma for as long as I could take it. It scabbed over and I let it heal naturally, and a mnth later all I have is a slight dimple where the ugly red dot once was. Yes, it hurts a little to burn the angioma, but the results are worth it, and I didn't spend a penny.

Both methods work. I have tried the method where you heat the head of a pin or small nail and burn the cherry angioma off. This works but may need a second treatment if u missed any of the spot. Also, the burning method may be painful for those with a very low pain tolerance, especially if the cherry angioma is located in a sensitive spot. The other method of using apple cider vinegar is also effective, but will take a few days or more depending on the size of the angioma. For this method, first pierce the angioma, then apply the ACV directly to the spot or to help prevent ACV burn dilute with olive oil, there is exact portions to do so listed on www.earthclinic.com.

Well I looked through everything that was said and here's what I did. Being an Electrologist by trade I used my machine the sharp sterile probes insert to form a small puncture and flash heats. I was afraid it would cauterize but it didn't. Big believer of ACV. So I started with cleaning area with witch hazel, drying the area hitting the pedal at the time of insertion with the frequency at 100 and timing at 2. I did this 3 times. Wiped area with a little pressure with ACV for 20-30 secs (yes there was a bit of bleeding) and covered with a sterile bandage. Repeated the ACV and bandage for 4 days and to my amazement all gone.

Burning works like a charm. You don't need a doctor for this, or numbing cream. It really isn't that bad. Just tap lightly the angioma (don't hold it in place...tap, tap, tap...that's it), some turn black. Normal. Shower as usual.

Life saving, lulul! Burning them off really seems to work! Some disappear instantly, some don't, some leave a scab, so it will take a week or two to see... But there is hope for me now!

I have tons of CAs - hundreds, maybe thousands, and I have bad anxiety and depression because of them, especially in summer when they are visible in bright light.

For a easier to control cautery method, purchase a cheap mole removal pen on Amazon (e.g., Mole Removal Pen) (and sterilize the needle with rubbing alcohol before use).

I removed all of mine easily. Take a finish nail. Push the sharp end into a cork from a wine bottle. Hold the cork and heat the head of the finish nail with a lighter until it’s red hot. Quickly touch the angioma. It’ll sizzle. After a day it’ll scab up. When it heals, the angioma is gone.

I ordered a mole skin tag remover pen from Ebay. It cost about $10 from China, a lot more from the US. The needles are tiny and they have electricity running in them. They immediately burn off the tiny red dots the larger ones do bleed, but after a while they are gone too. This seems more sanitary then just looking for nails and needles and heating them up. I have also removed skin tags under my bra line and 2 moles, and am so happy. The pen comes with 5 needles and you can use them over and over. I wipe the area with an antiseptic and clean the needle the same. You will think it's the best thing you ever bought. Also replacement needles for a pack are about $2. I have girlfriends come over and ask me to remove skin tags etc... Please try this...

What is the best at home device used to remove cherry angiomas?

I tried lulus pin idea and it isn’t working. I’m using the lighter to heat it up then I blow the flame out before tapping the spot with the pin. It’s even more raises now than it was.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned a paper clip yet. The end is the perfect diameter (and perfectly round) for a cherry angioma. Just bend one part open and you have the rest of the clip to hold for stability. As far as the actual cauterizing, I've tried both ways - holding it down for a few seconds vs tapping it. I haven't been able to tell if one way works better than the other.. I've had good results with both. The bigger ones take more than one "treatment" but smaller ones are a piece of cake. They do turn black and the scab falls off eventually. Don't touch it while it's healing!
