These blood blisters may be cherry angiomas or an underlying bleeding disorder. Firstly, the cause of this blood blister has to be ascertained. Cherry angiomas may be expected in the elderly and they do not need further intervention. As for possible bleeding disorders, these may be assessed through evaluation of platelet count, PT and aPTT. If aspirin is being used then these parameters have to be assessed.
