How do I remove a small Cherry Angioma on my face when radio frequency and IPL didn't work? (Photo)

beautyally
I've had a small Cherry Angioma on my forehead for 5 years. I thought it was a pimple till i picked it! It's slightly raised, which I could live with if the color was gone! I went to a Derm a year ago and she first tried to cauterize it. It didn't do anything, not even scab. Ended up going in 4 times & tried radio frequency, IPL x 2, & it did nothing! So my question is, what WILL actually remove the color? Or remove it completely? I am 35, light skinned, blue eyes, blonde hair too.
