lump in right nostril
I am a 33 yr old female. Several months ago I noticed a thickened area on the inside tip of my right nostril. I have now noticed that the "lump" is changing the shape of the outside of my nose. It is painless. I have suffered from frequent bouts of sinusitis over the last year or so. My most recent labs during pregnancy all seemed to be normal. I have no obvious lymph node swelling on either side of my body, do not suffer from headaches or sore throats. No visual disturbnces either. Could this just be a cyst or polyp, or do I need to worry about cancer? I am told that my maternal grandmother's brother had cancer of the nose which required surgery. My maternal aunt had a small basal cell carcinoma removed from her nose as well.
Thanks for you help.

hello
my first thought was, a while back i had something similar, on the inner bridge,
after about two years i ripped it off, i scratched it as hard as i could with my nail
and it came off. i am pretty sure i had a wort
or something similar to a wort, due to the fact i work around dirt (construction sites) i figured thats how i got it.
At the end of your letter you spoke of your maternal grandmother brother (your great/grand uncle) had cancer of the nose, and also your
aunt also in regards to the nose. (if iam wrong
i do apologize) but i would think that the doctor would agree with me when i say xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx forget i said that...
In my opinion .... its crystal clear!!) now in a gentle and calm voice, with only compassion for
you... I say to you, my dear this seems to run
in the family, please go and get it check out
asap, better safe than sorry don't forget to inform the doctor of family history and the age of family members with similar nose problems, good luck, you have me behind you wishing you the best, you have my support,

here's hoping its nothing, nothing about.
