What Is The Thin Bit Of Skin Attached To Mu Inner Nose?
I used to have a thin bit that seemed to be attached to the skin on my arm. It was about the size of a grain of rice. It got on my nerve eventually so i ripped it off. It bled quite a bit for a while but the bleeding did stop and now my skin is fine. However i have noticed what appears to be the same thing on the inside of my nose. What could this be and is it safe

Hello,
The outer one probably a skin tag or wart. But the inner side of nose it may be polyp or turbinate hypertrophy.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. don't insert anything into nose. It may lead to trauma.
Please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
