Small bump on nose that bleeds

For the past few months I've had a small red bump near my nostril. It looks and feels like a pimple or small blister but it doesn't seem to be going away. However sometimes using kleenex or face cloths will cause it to bleed. The first time this  happened, it bled quite a bit for such a small bump. Any ideas what it could be?

I had the same problem, it was a very easy fix.   It's a very vascular type of mole.   My dermatologist simply removed it with a cautery, it was gone for good.   It took one minute to fix and I know longer have that very annoying bleeding whenever I rubbed my nose.

Not to alarm any of you, but my mother had a small bump on her nose that would bleed all the time it it was rubbed.  She went to a dermatologist and it was cancer.  I would have it checked out.

I have the exact same problem.  I went to the doctor and they said it was nothing becasuse it was red and not purple.  All I know is when I am sleeping if I rub my nose it bleads. It will not stop.  I just hate it.
