White jagged bumps inside nose for months

Hello, ever since at least early this year (Jan/Feb maybe earlier) I have had something on my right nostrils septum growing. it grew for a while and I had something that felt similar in the other nostrils septum grow and was unable to see it well. I work 2 jobs and I am a full time student so I went to the schools health center and the nurse said she is not sure what it was, but it didn't look cancerous to her. she said try using Flonase as a steroid and or Bactaide on it. I did so for a few days then kind of forgot.

Upon finally inspecting it today, It looks like a cluster of 3 or so small white jagged firm peeks/lumps/bumps resembling either a cluster of something or a raised sore that cracked. It is almost pure white, but its in ways up my septum so its hard to see clearly. Most of the time it is not noticeable unless irritated. I remembered it two days ago and ended up irritating it the next day, where it was inflamed. I used Flonase the past two days and put bactide on it twice yesterday. Today it seems to be "dormant" again and not irritating me unless bothered.

I will be seeing an ENT next weds.

Is this something I should be very stressed about? I have high anxiety and I can be a bit of a hypocondriac, I know statistically it is probably nothing to worry about but unless I have some kinda facts/reassurence I probably won't feel better.

Any idea's what it can be/ What I can do to treat it?
