Cyst, extra cartilage or pre-cancer on nose? (Photo)

I had reconstructive surgery on my nose twice in my youth, having broken it in a childhood accident and when it began to grow extra cartilage. Now, as a 47 year old outdoorswoman who recently spent 2 months in high altitude sun/snow, I've noticed this bump growing on my nose. I have an appointment in late Feb. but I am wondering - does this need urgent attention - basal cell? Is it a cyst that could be removed, or would I need septoplasty to take it off? Thanks in advance for the response.
