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.

Thank you, very much. I was so relieved that the doctor wasn’t concerned that I neglected to ask any questions. You see, she told me about it Friday night, around midnight, and she added that she had had it since some time in the Spring. Other than thinking that it was not any fast growing anything, it has been a long long weekend until I could take her to our doctor. When he smiled and said it was a hemangioma, nothing to worry about, I was so relieved that I could hardly say thank you, much less think and ask a question!
