What is the painful lump on the inner part of my nostril?
Patient: When i feel into the inner left side of my nose it's completely smooth, how the inside of a nose should feel. When i feel into the inner right side of my nose it's smooth until i reach the bottom left corner of that right nostril. I feel a hard bump, it's part of the bone, if not THE bone. It does not give me any complications when it comes to breathing, it is just painful. It randomly showed up about a year ago and recently started becoming painful. Doctor: Hi,Dear,Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.Treatment-In my opinion your painful right nasal lump- is mostly due to the bruise and sore from the boil near the nasal septum at the base of the right nostril.Sore in nostril is due to the repeated handling of crusty nasal discharge.Emollient or simple coconut application locally,Tab NSAIDS / for 3x 4 days time would resolve this bruise.IF not Antibiotics from the ER Ent-Surgeon would resolve this lump.If it grows in size consult ER Ent-Surgeon.So consult your doctor and don't worry.So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.Have a Good Day.Dr.Savaskar M.N.
