Detailed Answer:
Hi,
According to your complaints, it could be a cherry angioma or pyogenic granuloma.
Both are benign vascular lesions with a tendency to bleed.
They need to be removed by electrocautery or radiofrequency ablation.
These are minor office procedures requiring 20-25 minutes.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
