Inner nose growth
I have had an odd, red growth in my nose for a few months now in my left nostril. I thought it would go away but it hasn't done anything but obstruct my breathing a little but not enough for it to matter. It hasn't changed shape since it grew nor has it gotten bigger. Should I be worried about it?
You may be looking at anterior part of the inferior turbinate which is a normal structure inside the nose. Sometimes it may get enlarged due to infection or allergy. Unless there is significant nasal obstruction no specific treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
