Inner nose growth

Question

Inner nose growth

Asked for Female, 25 Years

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
