What Does A Hard Lump On Nose Indicate?

I have a hard lump that came up on the bridge of my nose on right side proximal to the face. This came up in August. Now this week another lump has come up on the distal tip of my nose and is painful. At first I thought it was a cyst but now I m not sure. I just had my third child this past January and wondered if this is hormonal or if I should have other concerns.

Hi! welcome to HCM and thanks for sharing your recent health problem with us!

After going through your description of the hard lumps on your nose, if I were your treating physician for this problem, I would like to examine it carefully first as there are so many possibilities in this case as follows:

1. small retention type or inclusion cysts of the skin adnexae

2. infected skin adnexae or folliculitis

3. rosacea-like skin problems

4. type or varant of acne

5. small benign skin tumors

Therefore you must see a dermatologist for a clinical examination and opinion regarding potential medical therapy in this case!
