What Is A Blood Oozing Bump At The Base Of Nostril Suggestive Of?

My son just showed me a small bump at base of one nostril. It looks like a pimple when he squeezed it and a lot of blood came pouring out. He said he has had it for a couple of weeks and it has gotten bigger. If he squeezes it, blood comes out but the lump stays. What is this?

Hello,

It may be due to furuncle. For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Do regular dressing. Maintain proper hygiene. In case of fever you may require antibiotics after consultation. During bleeding pinch the nose properly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
