How do I get rid of this red dot? I've had electrodessication, aerolase, and V-beam. It's still here. Advice? (Photos)

ctangioMar 2, 2019
I have this red dot on my nose that I'm trying to get rid of (turns more red when I'm flush from drinking [sometimes], hot, or after sun exposure). There is a slight bump, barely anything. Picked at it as a kid. I've had little electrodessication in 2011. Had aerolase early Nov. 2018. Had first round of v-beam on Dec. 21 (I believe longer wave lengths and had two to four pulses). Second round of v-beam on Feb. 1. (I believe a shorter wave length and just one pulse.) Photos two rounds of vbeam.
