      During Christmas of 2016 (15 months ago) I was 28 weeks pregnant with twins. I got a pimple that wouldn’t heel and bleed a lot. It would develop a scab then I would knock it and it would start bleeding again etc.

      when I had my twins (feb 2017) it finally heeled and was always bright red. (I just thought it was a red scar.) fastward to about January 2018 (1 year on) it had started to grow out again. (Once again I am pregnant if that affects anything) I started knocking it because it was getting quite big and again it will bleed and bleed. Now it is the size of 5 mm in diameter and about 3-4 mm raised. When my dr shaved it off said it was extremely vascular, bleed a lot and needed to be burnt off for about 15 minutes. I have to wait a week for the results, being 28 weeks pregnant with 1 year old twins and a 2 year old I am really stressing. From what I have read I feel this is the only thing that fits my story and am concerned because I have had it sooooo long. 

       

      Please all thoughts are welcome. I keep telling myself I am being silly and it will just be because I am pregnant with extra blood causing it to pop out.

          It could be pyogenic granuloma, but the bioupsy will tell you for sure.
          Good luck!

              Thank you so much for your reply. This has 100% put my mind at ease because it fits my story perfectly. The fact that they are slow growing and vascular. This will make the next week go much quicker now and allow me to stop stressing.
