Cherry anguioma is a distinct, benign vascular neoplasm found in nearly all people older than 30 years of age.
LESIONS APPEAR GRADUALLY IN ADULTHOOD AND ARE ASYMPTOMATIC.
Skin biopsy is rarely needed but demonstrates a sharply defined, benign proliferation of dilated capillaries, and post-capillary venules within the papillary.
Larger lesions show flattening of the overlying epidermis and a collarette of epithelium at the periphery.

I've heard of Cherry Angioma. A cherry-red to purple colored benign skin tumor of unknown origin that appears most frequently after age 40.

I have had one of these on my cheek since I was a little girl it is very tiny, and my mom and daddy told me it is because I was kissed by angels, at night. We know that isn't the case but, if your children get them it is a sweet way for them to deal with it. My husband has this mark on the back of his head and our two son's were born with the same Angel's Kiss in the exact same spot, so it must run in families too.
