Brief Answer:
Could be cherry angioma

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

From your history and description, you could be having what is called as " cherry angioma" , a type of " Hemangioma". It is a small collection of blood vessels. It is harmless and will not cause any problem.

However, to be more accurate, I would like to see a picture of the lesion.
