Can this be a tumor or maybe just a cyst
Posted: 07-19-03 00:08am

Hi,
Last week I notices a small red bump on my back I thought was a pimple had started to get bigger. Not around but it started to stick out more, it doesn't hurt at all, and I feel no different physically. I have had a few sunburns since I was little and I wasn't sure. I will of course have it checked by a doctor, but I thought maybe someone would know a little bit about the subject.
Thanks,
Brandon

To Brandon,
I do not think that you have to panic. What I think that you have is a blood blister better known as a cherry angioma. They usually appear on your trunk or back. They are benign tumors. Just have it checked by a dermatologist. I am sure it is nothing. I have a lot of them on my skin. I hope I was helpful to you. Teri
