Small pimple inside nose
I have small pimple inside left nostril I have observed this around 8 months before.
In between this period I don't think I have felt that again.
But recently i am feeling it. It is painless and small. Should i worry of cancerous growth? I don't smoke or drink either.
I have throat pain though but previous doctors that is because acidic reflux.
Please guide me through. I am freaking a lot by this
