    Cryo-curettage of cherry angiomas.

    Aversa AJ, Miller OF 3rd.

    Cherry angiomas pose a cosmetic problem in some patients. The most commonly recommended treatment modalities in the past have been electrodesiccation and cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen. This report describes a simple and quick technique for removal of cherry angiomas with excellent cosmetic results using a topical anesthetic refrigerant spray and a sharp curet. Patients experience minimal discomfort.
