small bump on face that pulses

I saw a doctor a few years ago when it first apeared. It is a small bump, blemish sized but non discolored. He said that it was not hard and was not too concerned. Now it is a slight small ball barely felt and the blemish is no different on the surface. What I do see is that it actually pulsates with my heartbeat. Is it perhaps caused by some blood vessle. Pls advise.

In addition, I have a few small skin bumps that are totally different. They are more akin to what looks like a deep blemish, a lighter color, that never seems to go away. I do not mind them much but it would be great to know what to do to get rid of them.

Thanks!

What can I do to get rid of it or the raised area. I was going to use something to try to puncture it.

No, that is not the case. I can see with my eyes, without touching it at all, moving with my heartbeat. Only the raised area and nothing else.

First ask somebody to feel it.Most of time you will be feeling your own fingertip pulse and possibly misinterpreting.
