Red spot on nose won't go away!

Ive had this spot on the tip of my nose for about 4 years now and it hasn't gone away. Its not acne and if it is I can't pop it. It doenst irritate or hurt me but I want to get rid of it. Its not a bump either, its just flat. Anyone please help.

It could be a skin growth called a cherry angioma- it's very common and not usually anything to worry about unless it bothers you cosmetically or you notice that it changes (grows, changes shape, starts to hurt or itch, etc).  If it's bothering you for cosmetic reasons, you will need to see your doctor about options to get it removed.
