What Is The Lump On The Nose?

Hello, yesterday I noticed that over the bridge of my nose it was moving even into my right cheek I saw a doctor this afternoon who asked me to keep an eye on it and if it didnt settle to come back in a few days and I would be sent for blood tests, can anyone help?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.

The lump you have described can be a collection of fluid under the skin, a condition called angio-neurotic edema.

The treatment is antihistamines and steroids.
You may get such swellings at other parts of the body; why do they appear is not known.

Those appearing in the mouth , tongue can be dangerous; can cause problem with respiration and you may need an urgent injection of adrenalin.
Ideally once the diagnosis of the angioneurotic edema is confirmed you should carry a note and an emergency small kit containing injection of antihistamine, steroid and adrenalin.

I find this answer helpful
