What is This Bump Inside my Nostril After Closed Rhinoplasty?

June 22, 2011
Asked By:reallly in Aurora, CO

I had a closed rhinoplasty about a month ago. My surgeon used absorbable sutures. There is a red bump inside my left nostril which looks similar to a pimple. I don't know if this is normal and is just the sutures being absorbed or if it could be an infection. Help!
