red beauty marks

I'm 51 years old and ever since I can remember all my beauty marks except for one on the middle of my back which is normally black all the rest are red. I have one on each side of my temple and on my arms and thighs and they all red, I know they are not bad because I've had them all my life and I'm just wondering if is common or what does it mean?

Doesn't sound like H.S.  I'd post this in the dermatology forum.

It is probably hereditary.  They are called cherry angiomas.  They are common.  Broken blood vessels inside of them give them their reddish appearance.
