Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My toddler (3yo) has a bump that I can feel on his nostril, and it s slightly red looking on the outside. When I look inside, it just looks slightly swollen, maybe like a little pimple or something, but no sore or anything. Should I be concerned about this? It started yesterday.
The symptoms seem to be related to a pimple. I recommend using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream. I also recommend to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
