What Causes Swollen Lump On Bridge Of Nose?

I ve got a hard pea size lump on the bridge of my nose in between my eyes. It hurts when I move my eyebrows or anything like that. Its been there for a week now. I thought it was acne but its not going away and its making my face swollen. Now here is the kicker, it s UNDER the skin. Its not even noticable until you touch it. Then you feel the hard lump.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a swelling or lump over the bridge of nose, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     a dermoid or epidermal inclusion cyst!

2.     The second possibility is of benign chondroid tumor of the nasal cartilage and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!     

3.     The last possibility is of some inflammatory condition like rhinoscleroma, ethmoid sinus polyp or just folliculitis

Therefore, I must suggest you to go for an FNAC and X-ray (if necessary) of the lump region for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
