What is the best way of removing the bump on my nose? (Photo)

Question

I’m not even sure what it is. If it’s a skin tag or a fibrous papule. It doesn’t hurt and it doesn’t grow, but it makes me feel self conscious and would like to remove it. You can see a bump when someone sees me from the side.

It looks like a benign condition but should be submitted to pathology examination when removed. Small external incision (scar) would be the easiest access to remove it. However, it can also be removed using inside the nose incision without leaving external scar. In person evaluation is recommended. Good luck.

In person exam is needed. An excision could be performed to remove the bump and sent to Pathology

Thanks for the question, examination need to be done for better decision, but I think it could be removed by direct incision but it will leave a small scar. Best of luck

Your question is not answerable as presented. You need to see a doctor in person to get it examined and then get a recommendation about your option
