Small red bump on chest?!
Question: Small red bump on chest.?
I've had this small red bump for about 6 years now. It doesn't itch or hurt. It's looks like a very small zit (circular) but it's completely red. It's just 1 and it has stayed the same size (slightly raised above the skin). I thought maybe it was a mole but why would it be red.? When I squeeze it, the skin looks like a blister (thin skin). I used a toenail clipper to cute the skin off and it bled for a bit and the red dot was back again.
Anybody know what this could be.? Health Question & Answer

I have a few of those, it is from a blood vessel (capillary) that was damaged, and part of it was raised to the skin's surface. I forgot what they are called, maybe a cherry or strawberry hemangioma. its harmless.Health Question & Answer
don't be picking at it or cutting it. some moles are red in color. again, if it starts to grow, or change shape or change color, see a doctor. but until that happens, do not mess with it. leave it alone,ok.?Health Question & Answer
