What Causes A Lump On The Nostril?

My daughter (8) had a small lump on the outer side of her nostril. It was flesh colored, not very large, and the closest comparison I have is a small water blister. It opened in a day and is an ugly open sore. She then developed one on the opposite nostril, and a very small one between her nose and upper lip. I researched it online and viewed TONS of photos of all things imaginable, and don t see a match. She had a runny nose last week, unsure if it s related. Otherwise there has been no known exposure to anything. She doesn t mention they are painful but they are open crusty scab in appearance at present

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

The narrated features of nostril lump indicate a benign issue with nasal polyp formation, usually, the reasons are not known specifically unless chronic nasal mucosa congestion in rhinitis cases in some cases.

The symptomatic cases need surgery with laser removal by ENT specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
