What Causes A Small Red Mole Like Mark On The Nose After A Sunburn?

Two days ago I was outside for a few hours and my face got sun burnt. Today I noticed a small mole that has been next to the right side of my nose for as long as I can remember to be very red and tender to touch. I assume it would be safe to say I should meet with a dermatologist?

Hi.
As per your case history of red mole my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
3. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
