Bump on nose
I have a small bump on my nose which is there for more than 5-6 yrs. There is no pain or irritation of any sort. It started after I had a ugly pimple on my nose which later on got popped but the scar got turned into this bump. And no matter what ointment or cream I apply it just won't go away. It looks unsightly as its prominent and I wish to make it go away for good while getting a smooth nose surface. I have an oily skin type. What permanent treatment is recommended without any side effects ?

please attach a picture. when the pimple (a sebaceous cyst) when not properly drained, it will become harder and dormant . you can go for surgical removal (an outpatient procedure) or injections to dissolve the cyst
