What causes a white spot inside the nostrils?
Patient: I am a 58 year old woman who just visited the dentist. In his office he is using a CT scan to get 3D pictures of the jaw, neck, face, etc. On mine, he noticed a white spot just to the side of my right nostril. What could this possibly be? He said I needed a more specific scan to that area to get a better picture. would a deviated septum show up like that? Doctor: Hello,  Read your query, as you have white spot inside nostril it can be due to folliculitis , nasal polyp, sinusitis, or deviated nasal septum for this I will suggest you to consult ENT specialist and go for investigations like PNS view for deviated septum and its treatment.  Hope it will help you.  Wishing you good health.Regards,  Dr. Priyanka tiwari.
