Hi,
I understand your concern regarding your skin condition.
You seem to have developed a lesion of a pyogenic granuloma.
This usually develops after any kind of skin trauma.
It's main problem is that it tends to bleed a lot at even a slight trauma.
I think you should see a nearby dermatologist and get it treated.
There are various treatment options for the same which include its cauterisation and its removal.
For the time being, apply pressure over the affected area when it bleeds.
Hope it helps
