Self-Care Guidelines
No self-care is needed except avoiding trauma, which may cause bleeding of the lesions.
When to Seek Medical Care
Cherry hemangiomas typically require no treatment, although lesions that are irritated or bleeding (most commonly occurring due to injury) usually require removal. Cherry hemangioma lesions can also be removed if they are cosmetically undesirable.
