Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump on side of nose with oozing out of liquid could be due to cyst formation.
A boil or a furuncle is usually red in color and is painful.
Cyst formed superficially can be sebaceous cyst or pilar cyst.
However, a clinical assessment is required to note the size, site and extent of the cyst.
An excision of the cyst may be required if it is large enough and causing cosmetic problems.
Thanks and take care
