How do I get rid of this red dot on my nose? Would V-beam work? (photos)

Asked By:ctangio in Connecticut, CT

I've had a dot on my nose since 6th grade (2006). Growing up as a kid I would pick at it - possibly creating a scar and making the matter worse. I don't know. In 11th-12th grade I had it diagnosed as an angiofibroma or cherry angioma. It was zapped with a laser, reducing the redness and bump a little bit. Three weeks ago I had it diagnosed again as a growth/angiofibroma and had it zapped with an Aerolase laser. It's still red. How do I get red of this dot? V-beam laser? What do you recommend?
