Are these cherry angioma or petechiae, and what is the appropriate treatment? (photos)

January 5, 2015
Asked By:natnerv in Austin, TX

These red spots have accumulated over time and do not go away or lessen. They seem to be permanent. Does that mean they are cherry angioma, and can be treated by laser? What other treatments are possible (e.g. chemical peel)? Lastly, in treatment of these am I seeking a general plastic surgeon or a typical dermatologist?
