Hi,
You seem to have either mole..pigmented melanocytic nevus or pyogenic granuloma on the nose. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. After thorough examination and investigations, diagnosis may be made. If there is bacterial infection, antibiotics may be taken.In both cases, the lesion may be removed by electrocautery. It is a minor OPD procedure done under local anaesthesia. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
