Which forms of cancer are associated with cherry angiomas?


Which forms of cancer are associated with cherry angiomas?For years I've had these tiny little pinprick dots on my arms, just about 1 mm each, but lately I've been noticing more and more. I don't know what they are, since I looked at pictures online and they don't fit the criteria for petechiae or angiomas, but cherry angiomas are what look the most like them. I may have around 100 of these tiny things. They don't ulcerate, they don't blemish, and all of them are bright red. I go to the gym regularly and strain my muscles every now and then. I heard that Hodgkin's lymphoma, disseminated melanoma, multiple myeloma, and lymphatic leukemia can cause such things to appear. What else could? Is this all in my head? I had a normal urinalysis and WBC count so I can rule out leukemia and myeloma. I also saw a dermatologist and she saw no suspicious mole. Here are some of my symptoms -
Feeling of incomplete defecation
Lower abdominal discomfort
I noticed red streaks on my stool yesterday, though today everything was fine
Nausea
Fatigue/Lightheadedness
Mild intermittent night sweats

No fever, no swollen lymph nodes/spleen, my abdomen felt perfect according to my Dr., I seem to feel much better when I'm active, and I can sleep fine

I'm going to the health center tomorrow to urge for a referal to a gastroenterologist about the red streaks

I've been under a ton of anxiety for about a month and a half, I've been taking Celexa for a week, Xanax for two, and I've been taking some multivitamins.

Why do they have to be associated with any cancer?
I think you need more time for your meds to kick in as they do not appear to be working yet.

Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments! Information about multiple myeloma and other plasma cell neoplasms.
