Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump In Nostril And Headache
I have a recurring hard bump on the inside of my nose. Just on the tip upper corner inside. I have had it for almost a year come and go. Sometimes in i ll get one in both nostrils. Painful to touch. Nasal flushes, sleeping in front of a fan, and humidifier all make it worse or come back. It is back and now I have had a headache for over a week. What is going on with me?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Hard bumps inside the nasal cavities could be due to boils or folliculitis.
Infection of the hair follicles can lead to inflammation, pain and thus formation of hard lump.
A clinical assessment of the lesion is required.
In case the lesion turns out to be infectious, appropriate antibiotic will be required.
Thanks and take care
