SKIN TAGS AND GUMMY BUMPS
QUESTION:
I have skin tags, but I also been noticing red raised little bumps. My little patient asked why I have red gummy bears on my skin! LOL! That's what they kind of look like...gummy. Any clue?
ASK HEALTH & FITNESS'S DR. ALEJANDRO ALDANA ANSWERS:
Dear "Gummy" Spots:
These lesion are called "Senile Angiomas", they are bright- red, domed vascular lesions occurring anywhere but more frequent on the trunk, becoming more numerous with advancing age, and they are of no consequence other than the cosmetic appearance. A Dermatologist could treat them with Electro or Laser coagulation.
Thanks for writing.
