Hi I had 2 sudden nosebled for the past 3 months. My nose didn’t bled a lot and it stop after a while. So far i didn’t detect any lumps on my neck..do i need to see a specialist? Pls email me. Thanks alot.
I have a lump on the roof of my left nostril that’s been there for at least two months and I’m beginning to be concerned that this could be cancer. I haven’t had any nosebleeds or any of the other symptoms listed but I have been fighting a chest infection for some time now so I wonder if they are related. I’m an expat living in China now, so I really hope this is nothing to be concerned about as I don’t entirely trust the health care system here…
It’s not true the health care system there is entirely not trustworthy. Please google http://www.fudacancerhospital.com. I am an ex patient of this hospital. Like many other nationalities, I had my tumours removed and cancer treated there. No blood, no pain and very “western”.
100% very professional.

I have blood in my spit on and off.I have made appointment for CT scan soon. That maybe due to a growth in the nasal cavity. The small amount of blood drops will disappear later in the morning. These maybe the signs.Try taking Sabah snake grass and other herbs. Who knows it may help.

having white head inside my a nose…. can it become a nasal cancering
I clean houses for a living and live in a wet damp area on the Queen Charlotte Islands. I have at times come across black mold in the house despite the dehumidifier. I never have been allergic to anything but since being over here and cleaning it seems that cat dander and the tiniest dust particle irritate me to no avail. I wake up with a stuffy nose, my palate and eyes are itchy, headaches spotted bloodlets on tissue after blowing lightly or vigorously. Could these circumstances be the cause of my ailments that all above have discussed? Or is there more to what I have explained.
Please Advise.

I HAVE A BUMP INSIDE MY LEFT NOSTRIL ON THE INSIDE ITS BEEN THERE FOR YEARS SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE NOT SURE
I have a small ‘pimple’ on the inside of my left nostril (medially) it is white, dry and hurts. It’s been there for over a year and every few days I need to trim it down. It just regrows. Sometimes, when I do cut it, it bleeds from the area. I was given maxitrol, which has a steriod, but it never helped. Now I put bacitracin on it to help with the dryness and irritation. I’m scared this is developing into something. Should I go get a biopsy? Pls e~mail me back, thank you.
I have a lump on the inside of my right nostril and it’s been there for a few weeks now. I also have swelling in my neck and Ive had a nosebleed in the past couple of days. I’m not a smoker but both of my parents smoke so Im wondering if I have nasal cancer and if that is the cause of it. My nostril on the right side is obstructed, Ive been having headaches, but I dont know if this is related at all.
Dear,
In initial stage my suggestion that regularly massage your body with pure herbal massage oil and slightly take smell with “Sulfur” (It is called in Malayalam “Gandhakam”). ONE OF THE GOOD MEDICINE PROTECT FROM ALL KINDS OF “VIRUS & GEMS”

For the last week I’ve had drainage that is staying in my nasopharynx, I basically have to snort it to get rid of it. No sinus pressure, but the side that seems to be draining (rt) is opposite the side of my neck that is slightly firm. No fever, no sinus pressure. Just drainage that is getting stuck in the nasopharynx. When it comes out it’s yellow/green and sometimes has blood in it. Looking for answers. Nasal cancer or strange sinus infection???
