Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photographs though they are not very clear.
From the pictures you have uploaded it is not looking like any skin cancer.
It is looking like spider vein surrounded by dialated capillaries.
I would recommend you to upload clearer pictures of this spot so that I can have a better view of the condition and can guide you accordingly.

Brief Answer:
Either Rosacea or acneform lesion
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be either an acneform lesion or a papule associated with rosacea.
I can see redness and dialated capillaries on your cheeks which goes more in favour of rosacea.
It is not looking like any skin cancer.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take tablet doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime and apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5 percent gel on this bump twice daily for 3-4 weeks.
This should resolve in 3-4 weeks. Otherwise you should consult a doctor and get it examined clinically.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
