I have a hard lump up my left nostril..well its not a lump as such; when i put my finger up my nose to just compare both sides the left nostril really feels like it has a massive blockage and I can feel the blocked sensation all the time. It's been there for a week now and at the beginning it kept forming a dried blood scab but wasn't painful. Now it's larger and really painful when I touch the side of my nose or sniff. Could this be dangerous?
I had a spot right on the rear edge of my nostril (kind of where it attaches to the face) a few weeks ago. It didn't look like a spot but that side of my nose was really swollen and really sore for about a week and a half before it finally came to a head. I did go through a wee spell thinking it was something really serious but it was just a good old fashioned plook :)
Sounds like a boil or infected to me especially if it is painful when you touch it. I doubt whether it is dangerous, but you may need some antibiotics. It's quite common to get them in the nostrils.
Could be a polyp. Can be really uncomfortable, I had one and it wasn't dangerous though you should get it checked out cos it could block your nostril!!
