It is not possible to detect a bump in the nose immediately, because after its appearance it does not bring much discomfort to a person. After the discovery of an unpleasant formation, the patient is very frightened, begins to worry about the state of his he alth. The bump can hurt or just bring discomfort from the fact that something is in the nasal cavity. In most cases, the formation disappears on its own, but even after its elimination, the patient may have unpleasant symptoms.
Stages of formation
Bumps inside the nose are formed for various reasons and continue to develop in several stages at once. To avoid possible negative effects, it is important to start timely and effective treatment. A bump in the nose on the septum is formed at the initial stage of the disease. In total, experts distinguish three main stages:
- on the first formation is localized in the upper region of the septum;
- in the second stage, the growth extends to most of the septum;
- the third stage is characterized by complete closure of the base of the nasal cavity.
If you do not provide the necessary treatment, then in an advanced form, a bump in the nasal cavity leads to serious problems, since at this time the sense of smell is lost, and the openings of the paranasal sinuses are blocked. As a result, such a pathology can lead to a lack of air entering the body, as well as to the spread of infection.
Symptoms of defeat
In some cases, it is quite difficult to determine the presence of a formation in the nose, due to the fact that many patients confuse the appearance of a lump in the nose (in the nostril) with a simple cold. A grown polyp will make itself felt with the following symptoms:
- breathing difficulties;
- changing the sense of smell;
- regular sneezing;
- nose discharge never seen before.

Due to a violation of the control of cell division and differentiation in the nasal cavity, foci of pathological tissue growth are formed on the mucous membranes and upper part of the nose.
When considering the histological, pathomorphological and clinical factors for the appearance of a bump in the nose in a child and an adult, doctors identified the following types of formations:
- Benign. Described by long-term development, as well as the preservation of the functions of the tissue structure. All neoplasmsdiffer in the type of cells of which they are composed. They can be presented as atheroma, fibroma, osteoma, chondroma, epiteloma, adenoma.
- Malignant. Such formations are prone to metastasis. They have a negative effect on the entire human body and lead to cancer intoxication. On an x-ray photo of a bump in the nose, the tumor is presented as a white-gray mass. More common varieties include sarcoma, neurogenic lump, and lymphoma.

Some of them can significantly increase the work of the sebaceous glands, which leads to clogged pores and the formation of closed acne (bumps).
- Cosmetic products. Some cosmetics can react with the skin and nasal mucosa, causing irritation with severe burning. All this provokes the appearance of an unpleasant formation. When choosing cosmetics, it is very important to pay attention mainly to those cosmetics that do notirritates the skin.

Mucosal lesions
A bump in the nose of a child or an adult often looks like a simple pimple. Such unpleasant bumps on the inside of the nose are more sensitive than formations on other parts of the body. A painful bump inside the nose can appear as a result of inflammation of the hair follicles.
