Have you ever heard of a skin rash with the named "ECA" for short? The name of it is very long.?

It is painless and itchless. Round like a ringworm but looks like a bullseye. It is not a fungus though.|||Could be empitago, or lyme's disease. Those are the only bulls eye rashes I've heard of.|||ya i got it from yo momma!|||is it egzemia....maybe i dont know, maybe it was suppossed to be EZA....just a guess now so dont hold it on me hehe|||If your "ECA" is actually called Eruptive Cherry Angioma or Hemangioma, then they are basically benign collections of dialted blood vessels that come to the surface of the skin. (bulge to the surface) They are mostly harmless but because they are often red and/or purple and can look like moles gone bad, people often ask to have them removed. Most dermatologists won't remove them (I know, I have asked) since by doing so will disrupt the blood flow since they are blood vessels.


ECA is common in both men and women between the ages of 30-50. ECA "spots" often show on the chest and arms but can appear anywhere.





If what you have is actually showing some inflammation or bleeding, please go see your Doctor as this may be a sign of something that requires treatment.
