Hard Lump Under Skin Near Nostril

Hard Lump Under Skin Near Nostril

While washing my face a few days ago, I felt a hard lump under my skin near (under) my right nostril. It is not painful at all, is immobile and is about the size of the tip of my pinky finger. I had my GP look at it, and she said if it were an abscess, it would be painful. She thought it may be a calcium deposit, and to be on the safe side, she had me have x-rays done of my sinuses, with the reason being due to a suspicious palpable mass. The x- rays, of course, came back that other than a slightly deviated septum, there was no evidence of a mass and that my sinuses were clear. I was told not to worry about it, but, obviously I am, as it was not there before. I occasionally get a pimple every now and then near that nostril, but this almost feels like a pimple that hasn't surfaced, just getting bigger under the skin. The fact that it doesn't hurt and is immobile is what scares me. Should I get a second opinion from an ENT? I just want to r/o anything cancerous, as I have hopefully caught it early. Any information would be very much appreciated.

Yes, you should get a second opinion. Your concerned about this and the lump is still there. Did your Dr mention it possibly being a cyst? Those are usually easy to treat.
Please let us know what you find out. Make an appointment with another Dr and take care. Remar

Thanks for the input. My doctor didn't mention anything about a cyst, but I agree it would be worth a second opinion. Thanks again.

Your welcome.
Yes, get a second opinion because it does sound like a cyst. Take care. Remar
