Red Spot On Face
Hello,
About a month ago my wife developed a red spot on her nose, the size of a needle ***** or so. No white head or elevation. Last night she evidently scratched the area while sleeping and it bleed all over. She woke up with blood on the pillow, her face was covered. We applied pressure and it stopped in a few mins. Any clue what this could be? We have makd a derm appt but its a few weeks out..

MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Hello,
From the symptoms it can be an infected cyst or a fibrous papule of the nose. It occurs in adults and is characterized by a dome-shaped, sessile, skin-colored, white, or reddish papule 3 to 6mm in diameter on or near the nose.
It cannot be removed on its own and you need to get it examined from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
