Spider Angioma?

[AnonUser15]

Does this appear to be a spider angioma? It doesn’t appear to have radiating vessels but it’s worrying me.

A true spider angioma must have legs, which are usually fairly long and impressive. Google images has some good examples. Yours looks like a cherry angioma perhaps, though these are usually bright red. Can't tell of the light is bleaching out the color in the photo.

As Metnoia said spider angiomas need to have the body and legs hence why its called spider angioma. Im not a doctor at all but i will comment on this only because i have the same mark your picture shows on a few spots on my arms. If yours is the same as mine than its what is known as petechiae. They are caused by bleeding from tiny broken capilleries beneath the skin. They themselves are harmless. But they are caused by different things. Mine are caused by the fact that I have extremly low platelets due to my enlarged spleen eating them all up. Lowered platelts also known as thrombocytopenia is a common cause of them. What is your platelet count? Show it to your doctor and mention the term petechiae and see what they say.

I have 7 spider angiomas and that doesn't look like any of the ones I have. Mine have a red/purplish center that isnt flat and going away from the middle all around the center are little broken blood vessels. I agree with Phoenix, it does look like petechiae I get from time to time.
