Although the exact cause of angiomas is not fully understood, some contributing factors include:
Hormonal changes: angiomas may develop in women during pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause.
Skin injuries: damage to the skin can sometimes lead to these growths.
Chronic conditions: issues with the liver, pancreas, thyroid, or gastrointestinal tract may contribute to their formation.
Frequent sun exposure or tanning beds can also increase the risk.

Treatment options include:
Laser therapy.
Radiofrequency method.
Cryotherapy.
Surgical removal.
Preventive measures.
