Suggest Treatment For A Large Painful Lump On The Nose

I have a large lump onon my nose in between my eye and the bridge of my nose. It feels like a hard water balloon. It doesnt give me much discomfort but i believe that is still growing, and is causing sinus pressure. It started to present itself about 4 years ago when some debris got blown into my face at a boat yard i worked at. I had a stye but when it went away i thought it was all over. Any help will be greatly appreceated thanks

Hi,Welcome to HCM Virtual Clinic.
I reviewed your query in context of all the facts of your query.
Based on the facts of your query,the lump between your eye and bridge of nose,seems to be lacrimal duct Cyst/or Epidermal Inclusion Cyst or Sebaceous Cyst,after the trauma from debris to your face with resolved Stye after the debris trauma to face area.
Duration of 4 yrs restricts the lump cause mostly to Epidermal Inclusion Cyst or Lacrymal duct Cyst.Dermoid Cyst possibility is ruled out as they exist since birth and more in the middle plane.
Treatmetnt-

Second opinion needed from your ENT/Opthalm and General Surgeon,who would treat it accordingly.
USG /Sos CT skull would fix the cause of the painful nose bridge lump as above.
For the cosmetic correction Excision and hpr study by Team of -doctors,for the nose lump under antibiotic, is suggested under guidance of your Surgeon.
This would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
Contact with Premium question to ME,if need be.
Will appreciate your Hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy patients like you.
Welcome with any other further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
