Growth on nose - What is it? (photo)

Asked By:Avia1900 in Austin, Texas

I have a weird growth on my nose. It started out as a barely noticeable bump, but it has been growing slowly over a couple of years. I was NOT born with it. It showed up in young adulthood. Can anyone tell me what it is and/or how to get rid of it? It doesn't hurt and feels pretty firm, but it's noticeable and I hate it.
