I have a bump or what feels like a very large pimple forming inside my left nostril. On the outside of my nose the skin is raised and the area is very tender but there is no sign of a white head forming. It started 2 days ago and is rapidly expanding. Also that area of my nose is more oily than usual. What is it?
I have gone through your query regarding a large bomp inside your nostril and it is tender also with raised outer surface of skin. Total duration is of only two days.
Your symptoms are in favour of Vestibulitis nose. It may be a simple furuncle or may be secondary infection in pre existing cyst. Since it is tender so vestibulitis is the first diagnosis and you should get investigate yourself for diabetes also for managing the disease.
Secondarly I would like to tell you the portion of nostril involve in your case is the DANGEROUS area of face for spreading the infection to brain and cavernous sinus so my suggestion is to consult your ENT doctor for treatment. Till you are in waiting for speacilist please follow these-
1- Don't press the nostril as to avoid the spread of infection.
