How To Remove Bump From Nose And Hard Lump Causing Swelling In Lips?

I am 48 years old and I have a little pimple like bump inside my nose. I also have a hard lump under my nose that is causing my lips to swell up. In the past I have been told similar things are infected hair follicles. I can't go to work because I look like a freak. what can i do to make swelling go away?

Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . The pimple in the nose is usually painful anf hard to treat because of location . There can be many reasons for pimplr inside nose like nose picking , hair picking ,environmental factors and use of excess antibiotic . The pimple under your nose is most probably a cold sore .

I would suggest you to clean your nostrils with warm water twice a day to remove dust and bacteria, apply antiseptic cream or tea tree oil as an antiseptic, apply ice on nose to reduce swelling and take ibuprofen (if not allergic ) or paracetamol for pain and swelling. apply same method to lump on lip.

I condition doesn't resolve in 2-3 days then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for at least a week if there is foliculitis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
