What is this? Do I need surgery to remove this? Why did this appear on my face?

I had this weird bump 5 years ago, I just woke up and this appeared. It was red then and after a few days(I didn't touch it) it turned into my skin tone, like light brown skin tone. So when I touch it or accidentally touched it, it will turn red, not painful but just red and then for a few days not touching it, it will turn to dark red, then next day black, then next day light red/pink, then the next day it will turn to my skin tone again

That looks more like a hemangioma than skin cancer.  Hemangiomas are benign, but they can be annoying.  Picking and scratching at it won't make it go away, and could result in infection.

As I said, it doesn't look like cancer, but it is always best to see a doctor for an in-person evaluation, and to get options for removing it if you so desire.

Not hemangioma, I'm 17 yrs old not an infant. It also changes back to my skin color.
You can get a hemangioma at ANY age.  There is a specific hemangioma that only arises in infants, but there are many other kinds.  In any case, skin conditions can't be diagnosed over the internet, so you are best off seeing a doctor for an in-person examination.
is the hemangiona you're referring to matches my symptoms? any treatment if it is hemangiona?
