I Have Flesh Like Substance Attached In My Nose. Do I Need Medical Attention ?
my nose is current blocked and by strange blobs, it feels as though it is attached to my nose, it has happened before and after a day of blowing my nose I managed to get it out, it felt firm possibly like flesh? I dont really know what to do, I would quite like to get it out again though as its irritating me, any idea what it could be?

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,
Those pink fleshy things are the normal turbinates of the nose. They can be enlarged during flu and nasal infection. Do not try to pluck it out or else you will land up with severe bleeding.
Take care
