Bump On The Nose. Diagnosed As Low Grade Cancer. Lesion Removed. Nose Bleeding Upon Blowing. Healing?

I had a lesion inside my left nostril that caused a bump on the bridge of my nose. It was diagnosed as a very rare low grade cancer and the lesion was removed in January 2013. Now for the past week my nose has become sore again and it bleeds if i blow. Could this be coming back or it takes a while for the nose to heal? I'm worried too young to die.

Hello and welcome to HCM,

The cancerous growth removed in January 2013 should have healed by now (after four months).
The appearance of bleeding on blowing can be due to recurrence, some other unrelated lesion e.g. vascular lesion, bleeding from Little's area (Little's area is a vascular area on the inner aspect of the nasal mucosa).
A clinical examination is required to know the site, appearance and extent of the lesion.
You need to consult the ENT specialist preferably the one who operated you in the past.
A biopsy of the lesion will determine the origin, and character of the lesion.

Thanks and take care
