This is an haemangioma. They usually appear as single or multiple circumscribed nodules that are red to black in colour. Haemangiomas are benign tumours of the vascular epithelium and soft tissues.
Congenital hemangiomas are usually visible on the skin at birth. They can become ulcerated and may bleed due to lacerations.
Surgical excision is usually curative in the case of cutaneous hemangiomas and the prognosis is excellent in most cases.
