I Have A Lump/bump On The Side Of My Nose, For Almost A Year Now.
Doc. I have a lump/bump on the side of my nose, for almost a year now. At first I thought it was a regular pimple , but when I tried poking it I seen a big layer of pus trying to come out, but instead blood if not a white liquid comes out. And when I touch my nose I can actually feel me moving something between the inside & ouside of my nose. And when it gets to a part of a open pore I see that puss coming out like a regular pimple... Only differance is it s to much to take out!

hi;
this bump should not be a pimple if it has been so long;instead it could be a sebaceous cyst .please consult a doctor to find out whether it is sebaceous cyst.If it is a cyst you will have to take oral antibiotic for it & even after that it does not settle then you will have to get it removed surgically.
thanks
