What could cause a lump inside my nose?

Answer by  josie (287)

Excessive sneezing, nose blowing or allergies cause increased attention to the nose. All of this can cause a bit of a breakdown in the skin. When this happens a scab will eventually form as this area attempts to heal, which will feel like a lump. Hope this helps.

This could be caused by an ingrown hair or possibly a clogged pore. It could also be a polyp, which would need to be evaluated by a doctor. An enlarged vessel on the nasal septum could be a possibility. In rare instances this could represent a benign or maliginant growth or tumor.
