What Could Cause Recurring Growth Of Extra Skin On Nose Of A Child?
my son is 8 years old and i notice extra skin growing on right tip of his nose. I thought it was a wart so I mention it to his doctor and doctor referred me to a dermatologist.. I took him to the derm about 2 months ago and he only cut it with scissors but keeps growing back. I do not think is a wart but just extra skin growing..

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic
From your explanation I conclude that it's a "fibrous papule of the nose"(angiofibroma).I would suggest to get biopsy and histopathology (Taking a sample and examining under microscope by using various stins. )done to confirm the diagnosis.
The best treatment is "Shave Excision" by a dermatologist.Recurring angiofibroma can be removed permanently by CO2 laser.
Hope you find this answer helpful.Good luck.
