Pain In And Around Left Nostril, Small Bump Inside Nostril. What Is This Lump ?
Hi, a few days ago I started having pain in and around my left nostril. Originally I thought it was just a pimple coming out on my nose but then I looked and realized it was a bump inside my nostril. It's white-ish and had red on top, I picked at it and removed the top but not fully. A white smelly gunk came out. What is the lump?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. It might be a polyp and you need to get treated surgically for this as the surgeon will remove those polyps. Its always better to get treated earlier as you will have nostril obstruction and breathing problem like complications with this. Thank you.
