Suggest Treatment For An Itchy Bump Near The Nostril
I was washing my face and found a small, hardly noticable bump in the entrance of my left nostril. It is slightly itchy, but usually I don t notice it unless I touch it and it hurts when I touch it. I put Bactroban ointment on it a few minutes ago. I just need to know what it is and how to treat it. thankyou.

Hi
According to your complaints it can be folliculitis which is due inflammation of the hair follicles.
I would recommend you to apply topical antibiotic on it for 5-7 days.
This will resolve the bump.
