What Causes A Red Mole On The Outside Of The Nose?

I am 55 female, non smoker, 180 lbs and 5ft5inches. HTN which has been controlled for greater than 8 years. I am not on any blood thinners ie: asa, nsaids, or herbs that contribute to bleeding. I have recently developed a red mole area on the outside, left side of my nose, It will begin to bleed after I blow my nose or inadverntly irritate the area. It looks like a red mole but will bleed profusely with minimal stimulation. Once it starts to bleed it takes several minutes of applying pressure to get it stopped. The last time it took 30 minutes. Once stopped, it swells up with pressure of the blood and will open an bleed with minimal stimulation. This area developed about one and one half weeks ago with the first bleed occuring about that time. It has occured 3 times in the last week. How can I get it to heal?
