Hi,
By what you say I feel that it could be a capillary hemangioma and is self-limiting as your doctor said.
Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
Please revert back to me with images so that I can guide you better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
