Q: Small growth on face

Hey. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a growth had appeared on my left cheek. At first I thought it was a random pimple but it hadn't gone away. A day ago I attempted to puncture it with a sterilized pin but it seemed to be just made of flesh and a little blood. It is about the as round as a pen tip (not the ball part, but the metal thing around it...if that helps) and is probably as tall as a nickels width. (Sorry about the strange measurements, but I'm working off what's on top of my desk Very Happy ).

It causes absolutely no pain or discomfort, and is just a cosmetic kind of thing as far as I know for certain so far. Several people have pointed it out but I could care less if someone says something snarky. It may be increasing in size very slightly, but there has been definitely no shrinking. Just wondering if this is the sort of thing I should just get rid of with one of those wart removal freeze things they sell or check with a doctor.

I'm assuming it is some kind of wart, but since it grew so quickly I thought it was maybe a really clogged pore. Any input would be cool, but I'll be trying to see a doctor soon once I scrounge up enough cash.
