Swelling On Nose Bridge. What Could Be The Reason ?

hi doc, Pls help me on this. On the right side of my nose bridge, just below the eye a swelling appears from time to time about five times already . The 2 last swellings occurred end of march and just this afternoon, it appeared again. There s no pain but it felt a bit numb. I wonder what is it.

Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic Forum,
This can be lacrimal sac obstruction, you need to consult your ophthalmologist for this problem. Probing of the duct might be required.

Take care

Regards

Dr. Naveen Kumar
