Angiokeratoma of Fordyce (also known as "Angiokeratoma of the scrotum and vulva," though not to be confused with Fordyce's spots) [5] is a skin condition characterized by red to blue papules on the scrotum or vulva. Solitary angiokeratoma is a small, bluish-black, warty papule that occurs predominantly on the lower extremities. [5]: 590
Cherry angioma, also called cherry hemangioma [1] or Campbell de Morgan Spot, [2] is a small bright red dome-shaped bump on the skin. [3] It ranges between 0.5 – 6 mm in diameter and usually several are present, typically on the chest and arms, and increasing in number with age. [3] [4] If scratched, they may bleed. [5]
Angiomas are benign tumors derived from cells of the vascular or lymphatic vessel walls (endothelium) or derived from cells of the tissues surrounding these vessels. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Angiomas are a frequent occurrence as patients age, but they might be an indicator of systemic problems such as liver disease.

Angiofibroma (AGF) is a descriptive term for a wide range of benign skin or mucous membrane (i.e. the outer membrane lining body cavities such as the mouth and nose) lesions in which individuals have:
Surgical removal (excision) of the affected skin layers is the most common and effective treatment. Ablative carbon dioxide laser therapy is a less invasive method that can improve the appearance. This treatment requires local anesthesia and may cause significant wounds.
It's flu season right now, and the U.S. is in the midst of a wave that's straining hospitals.But not all influenza is the same. There are some notable differences between flu A and flu B strains.
Most patients need at least two procedures done for the removal process to be achieved. Recurrence is possible but unlikely for those lesions able to be removed completely via excisional surgery. [13] Radiotherapy and chemical cauteries are not as effective with the lymphangioma than they are with the hemangioma. [14]
