Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The yellowish white bump in the left nostril which is so painful can be a boil.
The polyp does not hurt at all and does not get infected.
I would advise you the following:
- First of all please do not fondle or try to pop such swellings as these can case infection to spread to the brain.
-Consult an ENT Surgeon to get a clinical evaluation, examination, to get started proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen if it suits you.
- If required you may need a surgery, if needed, please go ahead.
