Large Hard Mass Came Out of Nostril Posted: 05-23-05 16:25pm
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 Posted: 06-05-05 07:58am
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.

I coughed up something similar, years ago.
I was grossed out, and scared. I
wrapped it, took it to the doctor and he
had it biopsied. It was nothing more
than "snot".
