I felt a tickle in my nose, I thought something like a hair or something was in there so I began to blow my left nostril. Nothing came out, but the tickle was still there, so I tried again and this large mass of hard but pliable white/greyish stuff came out. It was about 1/8 inch in width and about 1/2 long. If that wasn't enough to totally send me into a panic attack I blew my nose again and another mass came out.
After searching the internet for a few hours I have found nothing!
This isn't the first time this has happened to me. The last time was about 5 months ago. From what I remember, like now, I was on antibiotics for adult acne. That's about the only similarity in both situations.
The first time this happened I thought I may have left some tissue in my nose after a nose bleed or something, or maybe I stuffed some tissue up my nose while I was sleeping. After this last extraction of abnormal "stuff" coming out of my nostril I know I haven't stuffed anything up my nose!
This is really freaky especially since I can not find any information on abnormal nasal discharge.
Anyone that has ever heard of this please!!! Reply.

Thanks,
freaked out!

Nasal Discharge
I don't know about the colouration of your discharge, however I would suggest that the discharge itsself is some form of pus/dead bacteria as per normal, but in greater quantity.

You indicate that your were taking antibiotics both times this has occurred, and whilst they were for adult acne, they will also kill any other bacteria that may be sensitive to their presence.

I would the inclined to think that what you have experienced was a discharge of some form of concurrent nasal infection, whether it was bacteriological or fungal.

From my on-line research in the past: green, grey and/or black discharges are associated with, but not limited to, fungal infections.

If you are really concerned about this, I would first consult my general practitioner and, dependant upon your feelings and the outcome of your discussion with your doctor, request a referral to an ent for consultation.

Remeber to tell your consultants everything you have included here, and anything else that you may remember.

Personal Misson
I'm in the same boat as you'll. For the past 3 weeks my eye was watering nonstop an frequent soreness and pressure around my eye. But about 2 days ago the pain was intense I almost went to the ER but I didn't. So a couple of hours went by just in pain then all of a sudden I felt like I had something in my nose so I went to blow an nothing but I know something was there I blow again and jut as you'll where saying a big white mass sort of like wet tissue flow out. And it scared the doggy doo out of me I had goose bump. But as soon as it came out I had instant relief no watering eye or soreness around the eye. And since then I have been on a misson to find out what it was but nothing. But the closet I have come was maybe it was a Tonsil stone that some how worked its way up in the Nasal cavity. Hope this helps someone if anyone eles thinks that a tonsil stone sounds the closet to what you experienced Plzzzzz!!!! Reply
