What are Campbell de Morgan spots?
Campbell de Morgan spots are really nothing to worry about. For classification purposes they are one of a group of conditions referred to as ‘acquired haemangiomata’. They can also be known as Cherry Angiomas and consist of bright red small raised spots that tend to occur mainly on the main trunk of our bodies from middle age onwards. An angioma is defined as ‘a knot of distended blood vessels atypically and irregularly arranged’. They are relatively common and have no special medical significance. No treatment is usually indicated. Yours sincerely Dr John Pillinger.
