Hi Dear,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern.

A bump or pimple in the nose is usually caused due to folliculitis. It is an infection at the root of your hairs, and the causative organism is bacteria. Staphylococcus bacteria are the common organism to cause bump inside the nose. However, many other bacteria present inside the nose and the mucus membrane can also cause bumps.
Most of the time, bumps in the nose heal within few days if they are small
Fomentation with warm water on the outer side of the nostril two to three times in a day will help the bump to ripe and recede fast.
Applying juice of onion to the bump in the nostril will hasten it to ripe and drain few days early.
Another important home remedy is mixing one or two teaspoon of lime juice in a glassful of bitter gourd juice and drink the juice for few days. It is effective if you drink it on empty stomach as soon as you get up in the morning.
If the size of the bump (boil) increases in size even after taking antibiotics and home remedies, your doctor may advise surgical incision and drainage.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
