What Causes Spot On Nose?
Hi I had a spot on my nose a couple of years ago, stupidity I shaved it off with my razor leaving a flat surface. The scare had never really gone away and sometimes bleeds if I rub it too hard with a towel. Could I have a serious problem ? It doesn t hurt at all.

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to many medical conditions. Most likely, the red spot is not harmful and will likely go away on its own. However, a red spot on your nose could be a sign of melanoma or another type of cancer. So, I suggest to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
