Spider angioma or basal cell? (Photo)

Asked By:sportsmom6 in Altamonte Springs, FL

I had a red bump pop up on my nose about 6 months ago. It is slightly raised. It doesn't hurt, or doesn't bleed at all. It's just there and annoying me. When I press on it, it disappears and goes away. When I let go and don't apply pressure, it returns and turns red again. It has a small pinhead looking center almost like a sunken blackhead but not black but red. It has some blood vessels around it. I have used a clarisonic for years scrubbing. Looks like either basal cell or spider angioma??
