An angioma is a benign<\/strong> skin condition characterized by abnormal growth of blood vessels.<\/strong> It is a vascular formation that can appear at birth ( congenital<\/strong> angioma) or develop later in life ( acquired<\/strong> angioma).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several types of angiomas: stellate angiomas, ruby spots, flat angiomas and venous lakes of various origins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

  • Planar angiomas or “port wine stains” present as a spot ranging from pale pink to dark red “wine lees”<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • These are congenital vascular malformations<\/strong> that affect about 0.5% of births of varying size and shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The lesions are flat without relief<\/strong> and disappear more or less completely under pressure, without breathing, quivering or beating and having the same temperature as normal skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The flat angioma can be responsible for aesthetic<\/strong> damage with psychological repercussions when it is extended and\/or sits on uncovered areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Planar angiomas persist without a tendency to disappear spontaneously and their surface area increases in proportion to the child’s growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In adults, the port wine stains gradually become darker<\/strong> and thicker<\/strong>, due to the gradual increase in the number and size of the capillaries over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n\n
      \n
    • Stellar angiomas are frequent and benign<\/strong> vascular lesions of no pathological significance, seen at any age and particularly during pregnancy<\/strong>(they often disappear after childbirth).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • These are vascular ectasias (arteriolar dilatation) arranged in a star shape centered by a capillary<\/strong> from which a tree of radial telangiectasias starts. The largest ones sometimes have a pulsatile character. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Vitropressure causes the peripheral trees to disappear while the central point persists<\/strong>. The stellate angioma then recolors from the center. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • They preferentially affect the face (lips, nose, cheeks) and extremities (forearms, backs of the hands and fingers).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Treatment with vascular laser or IPL are the therapeutic methods used, but recurrences are possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
      \n\n
        \n
      • Ruby spots are also very common and commonplace on the skin after the age of 40-50.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • These are vascular ectasias (dilatations) appearing late, without pathological significance, the origin of which is unknown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Ruby spots are small punctiform growths of a few millimeters, bright red, flat or protruding, often on the covered areas (trunk).<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Vascular laser or IPL treatment is possible for aesthetic purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
        \n\n

        • The venous lake, or venous angioma,<\/strong> is a benign lesion often present on the lips, characterized by a bluish coloration due to the dilation of small blood vessels. Although usually painless, it can be unsightly and cause cosmetic concerns. In our aesthetic medicine center in Saint-Louis, near Mulhouse and Basel, we offer advanced solutions to effectively treat this condition. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • These are frequent and benign<\/strong> vascular lesions (dilatations) appearing late, with no pathological significance, <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Venous lakes of the lips are common after the age of 60 and the origin is unknown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The treatment of choice for venous lake is often the Nd:YAG vascular laser,<\/strong> known for its ability to specifically target dilated blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. The Nd:YAG laser emits light that is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the vessels, causing them to clot and gradually disappear. This treatment is fast, generally well tolerated, and requires little recovery time. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

          Angiokeratomas of the scrotum are benign<\/strong> skin lesions, manifesting as small reddish-purplish elevations, which most often appear after the age of 30<\/strong> . They are usually localized on the skin of the scrotum, although more rarely, they can develop on the skin of the penis or glans. These lesions are most often harmless and usually do not cause any symptoms, and they are not associated with poor hygiene or sexually transmitted diseases.<\/strong> The exact cause of angiokeratomas is not completely understood, but they are not contagious. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Although these lesions are benign, some people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons<\/strong> or because of bothersome symptoms. Treatment options for angiokeratomas of the scrotum typically include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Laser treatment<\/strong> : Laser removal is a common method of removing angiokeratomas from the scrotum. A targeted laser is used to destroy the abnormal blood vessels, which helps to reduce or eliminate the lesion. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Electrodesiccation<\/strong> : This method involves the use of a heated electrode to burn and destroy the affected tissue. It is an effective option for angiokeratoma removal. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Cryotherapy<\/strong> : Cryotherapy involves freezing lesions using liquid nitrogen, which results in their destruction. It is a less invasive treatment option. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
