What Is The Painful Lump With A Mass Around It Near My Nose?

Hi, I have a painful "lump" on the left side of my nose, around the bridge It hurts to scrunch up my nose and when i feel around the area i notice a firm mass. It is under the skin so i am worried about it being a big pimple or cyst.

Can you provide me with any answers on this issue?

Hi,
I think you are likely to be correct in thinking this is a cyst or it may be a staph skin infection. I suggest you need a course of antibiotics such as amoxicillin.
