Microvenular hemangioma is a noncancerous reddish blood-filled bump in the skin.[2] It tends to grow slowly to 0.5- to 2.0 cm, is not painful and typically occurs on the forearms of adults.[2]
It may occur in people with POEMS syndrome.[2] Diagnosis is based on appearance.[2] Kaposi sarcoma can appear similar.[2] Treatment is by cutting it out.[2]
