Campbell de Morgan spots

Authoring team

Campbell de Morgan spots are flat or slightly elevated, red, circular angiokeratomas that occur on the abdomen or chest.

They are very common, especially in middle age. Unlike spider naevi, they do not blanch on pressure.

Treatment, by diathermy or cautery, is required for cosmetic reasons only.
