Noticed red bumps during GLP-1 treatment? Get the diagnosis before booking removal.

Confirm what the bump is

Cleveland Clinic describes cherry angiomas as small, harmless red growths, often on the torso, arms or legs. A clinician examines the skin to identify them. Their appearance alone is not a diagnosis you need to make at home. [1]

Bring changes to an appointment

AAD advises a dermatologist appointment for new spots or those that differ from others, change, itch or bleed. Tell the clinician what you noticed before requesting cosmetic removal. [2]

Discuss the tradeoff before removal

Confirmed cherry angiomas usually need no treatment. Cleveland Clinic lists laser, liquid nitrogen and electrodesiccation as removal options. Scarring is possible, and growths can return. Do not remove them at home. [1]
