Hi I need help. I have this very small red dot just underneath my eye and when I put pressure on it or near it, it disappears then reappear within seconds. Kind of looks like blood that is trapped under my skin or something. I would really love to get rid of it. Any suggestions as to what it is and how I can get rid of it?

Hi
There are many benign skin growth like the one you have described.Its called cherry angioma. Its very commonly seen in old aged people and eventually every one will develop it and you need not worry about it unless you are cosmetically concerned. So what you can do is consult your dermatologist for a laser based treatment or a surgeon who can excise it but i would recommend the laser therapy.Hope the suggestion help and would love to answer if you have any more quarries.
Thanking you
