Mole On Nose With A Lump Inside Same Nostril. Related?
Question: Hi...I'm a 58 year old female, 130lbs with good medical history. I have a small mole on my nose, present for over one year. I now notice a lump inside same nostril. Could they be related? Thanks Melody
Hello
Thanks for the query
A mole which has not changed in size, shape, color and does not have hair in the centre is most likely to be a harmless one.
The lump inside your nose could be a hypertrophied turbinate (a part of the inner nose)which is not related to the mole
But if you have family history of skin cancer kindly visit a dermatologist for an opinion and an examination.
I hope I have answered your query, if you have no further follow up questions please accept my answer
Wish you good health
Regards
