Would a strong chemical peel work for cherry angiomas? (photo)

NewYorkTravelerSep 23, 2021
I have around 100 cherry angiomas of varying sizes on my torso, back, chest, upper arms and legs. I cannot afford expensive laser treatments and my medical insurance doesn't cover this. I was wondering if a strong chemical peel would help. I know it won't be enough to remove the large ones but was thinking maybe the tiny, pinhead size ones might come off. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'd suggest something that would penetrate the skin deeper such as InMode's Morpheus8 Body. A chemical peel will only improve the skin surface.
