What Causes Extra Flesh Growth In Nose?

Hello Dr.Samuel. I was diagnosed that what they the doctors called "a flesh in my nose" was growing up or something. I am so very worried whether this flesh in my nose will have any bad effect on my brain working by inducing sleepiness or by some other way. Could you clarify on this, Dr.Samuel?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you have extra flesh growth in nose . Skin tags usually grow where skin get irritated . They are generally harmless and do not bother . But some people get them remove because of esthetic purpose . Soemtimes they are nasal polyp , which looks like skin tags .There can be other reasons for skin tags other then skin irritation like hormonal changes , disease like diabetes and during pregnancy. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist doctor may order nasal endoscopy or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis .Doctor may remove them under local anesthesia by freezing liquid nitrogen or burning electric current.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
