Surface Red Veins On Cheeks, Blood Blisters. How Can This Be Treated?
I have a few surface red veins on my cheeks and just in the last two weeks after being in the sun, something like a blood blister appeared and I took the top off it by accident to find it bled profusely and was hard to stem, have taken the top off twice, same thing. Its not sore at all , what could it be and how do I treat it? this size is about the same size as the@ on the keyboard!

Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
Your case is interesting. You seem to have a condition called "granuloma pyogenicum" on the skin. It gives rise to recurrent bleeding if you remove the top that is the crust.
You need to consult a dermatologist and get Radio frequency cautery done to get rid of the lesion. There are no ointments.
