I do. They're mainly on my legs and arms, and they are quite tiny, about the size of a pin prick, and since I've had anxiety about rabies since about July, I easily mistake them for bat bites, it doesn't help that sometimes the cherry angiomas end up close enough that they look like two bite marks

Here's my best attempt to get a picture of some cherry angiomas that are on my leg

Yep, I’ve got one big enough to be flagged when I get a mammogram. They are mainly on my chest but I have others on my arms and legs. They are benign, nothing to worry about. They are not a bat bite, in fact, had you been bitten by a bat you would know it. It’s just anxiety jumping to conclusions.

I have quite a few as well, almost all on my chest / abdomen. I've also noticed a couple on my arms and legs over the years.

I have several tiny red ones on my chest. Dr. has looked at them and said they are very common and harmless. May themselves be a symptom of stress and anxiety in some cases.
