What Are The Little Grey Freckles On My Turbinate ?
I have been having problems breathing through both of my nostrils for as long as I can remember. I am now 24 and have come to the conclusion that I have a mild deviated septum which has cause my right turbinate to become enlarged. I have never looked up my nose with a light until recently and noticed I have greyish freckles on my turbinate, When it is not huge they are not as apparent but when it swells i can see about 6-8 spots. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hi Oliver,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
There is a hypertrophied inferior turbinate with a deviated nasal septum to the opposite side. The freckles can be because of recurrent nasal block or due to nasal allergy. No need to worry, please consult a good ENT specialist and get thoroughly examined. Any more doubts you are welcome.
Take care
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
