Hello
Thanks for the query

A mole which has not changed in size, shape, color and does not have hair in the centre is most likely to be a harmless one.

The lump inside your nose could be a hypertrophied turbinate (a part of the inner nose)which is not related to the mole

But if you have family history of skin cancer kindly visit a dermatologist for an opinion and an examination.

I hope I have answered your query, if you have no further follow up questions please accept my answer

Wish you good health
