For someone attending with me personally, I would have examined thoroughly the lesions as well as general health and would have advised as follows:

This seems closest to an infectious entity.

1 If possible, please post few pics from the lesion.

2 In the meantime, dress the lesion with Mupirocin cream and apply a a moderate pressure so that bleeding stops. this may take some minutes (10 or so) for control.

3 Some painkiller like Brufen 400 might help and can be taken in case of need.
