The best treatment for blood spots (also known as cherry angiomas or Campbell de Morgan spots) is typically precision probe and diathermy, a heat-based treatment that cauterizes the blood spot.
Here's a breakdown of this treatment:
- How it works: Diathermy utilizes a fine needle-like probe that delivers a controlled amount of heat to the blood spot. This heat coagulates the blood within the lesion, effectively destroying it.
- What to expect: Depending on the size of the blood spot, it may either disappear immediately after treatment or form a small scab that will fall off within a few days.
- Effectiveness: Diathermy is a very effective treatment for blood spots, often requiring only one session to achieve complete removal.
- Other considerations: The procedure is generally quick and well-tolerated. Some people may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, but this is usually minimal.
In summary, precision probe and diathermy offers an efficient and relatively painless method for getting rid of unsightly blood spots.
