Suggest Remedy For Boil On Nose
Question: I have a strange swelling on my nose. It looks like a boil or something under the skin of my nose to the right side of my nose bridge. It has been there for a couple of years at least and it is not painful at all but looks ugly. All I can remember is hitting a glass door of a hotel when I was running out to catch a bus (the glass of the door was not obvious). It did have bleeding from my forehead but I cannot recollect if my nose also hit the door. Absolutely no pain.

Brief Answer:
It doesn't seem to be of much clinical concern based on the history alone!!
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back and thanks for the consultation at my virtual clinic and providing the detailed history. I appreciate the efforts!
You don't have any family history of skin cancers and it has not changed its size shape and consistency. No itch and pain etc. All goes to the benign lesion side.
On the basis of history, it doesn't seem to be a big medical concern, but definitely I need some pictures to make it clear for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
