Could this be basal cell carcinoma? (Photo)

Dynamic29072
A pore on my nose has bled 3x times in the last few months. After the first time (I did a silly nose strip thing.. pandemic bordem...), it has stayed red and not gone away. I thought it would heal and hasn't bled in months but the spot remains. Any idea if this could be basal cell carcinoma? If unlikely, anything I can do to help it heal? I'm 38F.
