Small Red Bump Near Nostril, Feels Like Blister. Using Kleenex, Face Cloths, Bleeding. Treatment?
For the past few months I ve had a small red bump near my nostril . It looks and feels like a pimple or small blister but it doesn t seem to be going away. However sometimes using kleenex or face cloths will cause it to bleed . The first time this happened, it bled quite a bit for such a small bump. Any ideas what it could be?

Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
From the history you provided, it could be what we call pyogenic granuloma.
Its a benign vascular tumour.
The best treatment for it would be to get it excised from your dermatologist.
Take care
