Should I Be Worried When The Inside Cartilage Of My Nose Is Getting More And More Red Without Any Contact Or Injury?
The cartilage inside my nose is red and getting redder. I am not sneezing I have no fever I have not been sick and my nose is not running. I discovered this by accident we re putting on make up. This is just on one side. I had a basal cell carcinoma removed by Mohes procedure ayear and a half ago but that was external. Internal and it looks angry and has me worried. Should I be worried? She I see ENT or other?

Hi,
The cartilage in nose can be in red normally also. You are noticing this in mirror and you don't have any symptoms also. Relax. Mohs surgery has no relation to your nasal symptoms. Only if you develop any nasal symptoms, please consider visiting a ENT surgeon for opinion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
