I have had a hemangioma on my upper chest since I was 19 or 20 (I’m 53 now). It looks a little alarming, but it’s never “gone anywhere.” I’ve asked several doctors, including two dermatologists, to look at it. A couple have offered to remove it.

Perhaps the doctor is trying to not worry about you about your daughter having a hickey on her boob. When I was 19, I was responsible or many of those “hemangioma” on various pretty girls.

I had what the doctor referred to as a "cherry hemangioma" on my left cheek about a 1/4 inch in diameter. He "burned" it off and now my cheek looks like it was never even there.
I also have one on my upper back between my shoulder blades that I plan to have removed the same way one day.

So that is what those things are called. From what I know they start later teens and end up like the pictures. Nothing to worry about, well unless she want to be in Playboy.

FYI, starting about age 25, I developed about 12-18 hemangiomas on my torso. I was also using a tanning bed during this time. At age 26, I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma.
