Hard Bump Inside Right Nostril, Little Sore. Should I Meet A Doctor?
Yesterday I felt a hard bump inside my right nostril in the corner. I have been pressing on it today and it is a little sore. Should I be concerned and will it go away? I would like to know if I should make an appt. or wait and see if it goes away by itself. If it does not go away maybe in a couple of weeks try to make an appt. I hope this is not dangerous and is something really bad.
