I have cherry hemangiona on my mid-trunk, arms, and neck. Most are small and superficial. I am 29 (soon to be 30) and am concerned that they are indicative of a more severe blood and/or cardiovascular issue. I saw a dermatologist last year and he said not to worry - they are age-related. But everything I've read to-date on this topic suggest that they normally surface in in the late 40's if not 50's+ and are most commonly seen on 70-year-olds. I also have a friend that has a blood disease and she said that before she was diagnosed with her platelete disorder she had these all over her body. I'm thinking of having the hemangioma treated with Pulsed Dye Laser. How much does one session cost?
