====== Cherry angioma ======

//Cherry angioma //(a.k.a. //Campbell de Morgan// spots, //Strawberry Naevi //and //Red Moles//) are small, harmless (non cancerous) skin tumours which have an abnormally high number of surface blood capillaries - hence their red colouration and name. 

They are extremely common - nearly all adults over 30 have some examples. Their numbers tend to increase with age. 

The exact cause is unknown, but there may be a genetic factor that makes some people more likely to get them. They've also been linked to pregnancy, exposure to chemicals, some medical conditions, and climate.
