Raised red mole on the tip of my nose. Can I get it removed without scarring? (Photo)

Leavingpieces90
I always had a small, not raised, barely noticeable brown birthmark on the tip of my nose. Over the past few years, it's gotten bigger, has turned RED, and is raised above the skin and now it looks like a pimple. Everyone always thinks it's a pimple. It won't go away, and makeup can't cover it, it just slides right off. I really hate it and it's embrassing. Why did it turn into a red mole? Please help. And can I get it removed without scarring? Thanks.
