Angiokeratomas are benign skin lesions made of capillaries that become thickened and warty. They can be any size and look like dark red or black warts. They may be rough and bumpy or “pebbled.” They can sometimes bleed when scratched and be painful. They are usually seen in older people and are not harmful. There are a few types of angiokeratomas - Fordyce, Mibelli, and those associated with Fabry disease.
