Hard Red Bump (Or Inflammation) Inside Nostril on Columella Sticking Out. Is This Permanent? Easy to Remove? (photo)

August 1, 2012
Asked By:Questions77

2 Months ago I had a closed rhinoplasty to remove the bump on bridge of nose and had cartilage removed on the tip to make it thinner. Since the day the cast came off I have a very red bump sort of thing inside my left nostril on the columella. The other side is a bit red but not nearly as big as the left side. Doctor said it is NOT AN INFECTION or bacteria and is not sure what it is. I took antibiotics and applied antibiotic cream just in case but it did not do anything. Have you ever seen this before?
