Why Am I Still Bleeding From The Red Spot On My Face?
I had cauterization performed on a tiny red spot on my face yesterday by a dermatologist. He said the spot was benign and cauterized to stop the bleeding I was having. This morning while exercising it started bleeding again. I m wondering if this is something I should expect for a few days after or if it not cauterized enough?

Hi,
Red spot may be pyogenic granuloma most probably. It is a growth containing excessive vascular structures. For that you got cauterised by your doctor. Still, you get bleeding... means the cautery is not done properly. So, immediately consult your treating doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
