Blood spots ( aka Campbell de morgan / cherry angioma) are bright red spots on the skin and appear flat/ raised or dome shaped. They are shiny and can vary from the size of a pin head to a 50 pence piece.
The cause
The cause of Campbell de Morgans is unknown but hereditary reasons & sun damage are the most often cited causes. They are most common on the trunk of the body in people over 30.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is a safe effective and quick treatment. A small probe will touch the surface of the skin, a slight burst of energy is expelled, and a stinging sensation might be experienced. Larger spots can be stubborn, and more than one treatment is sometimes required.
IPL (intense pulsed light)
Energy is passed through a quart crystal to attract the “red” in the lesion and cause coagulation and damage to it. The sensation is like flick of an elastic band. The body will then clear up this debris over time. Again, for larger spots more than one treatment may be required.
