I had rhinoplasty 19 years ago. I always had a small hard lump that never went away on bridge, 2 wks ago the lump started to burn and prickle & got bigger. My sinuses r swollen, tip of nose sensitive to touch. I have appt w/an ENT in 2 wks, It took 2 wks for symptoms to occur, I fear in 2 wks it may get worse. Can a Urgent Care center help me get a scan quicker so that I will have the results ready for the ENT in 2 wks. What is happening with the lump?
