Q: Weird Lump Things Up My Nose? Cartilage?
asked by: John05 on July 9th, 2005

I have done cocaine several times withing the last year. This morning i've noticed that the nostril which I was snorting it with last night has what looks to be a ball of cartilage.

I've felt them in both nostrils long before I ever snorted anything up my nose, they're like little balls, but the one in the nostril I was using seems to have got bigger.

Just to note i'm not looking for any advice with doing the drug, i'm in control of that, in fact this has got me so worried i'm obviously not going to do it again.

Thanks in advance
john

See a Specialist
It's certain that your cocaine use might have something to do with your nose getting worse and it's great that you don't seem to be addicted to the drug which will allow you to quit alot easier, but you should see an ''ear-nose-throat'' specialist in person to find out exactly what those lumps are and what to do about them. I know, i'm stating the obvious... Lol

i hope it's nothing major,

good luck quitting snorting,

Watch Out There
I had the same thing. And if you do not medical question off with the coke for a few days atleast, that bump will desintigrate leaving a hole through your septum, thats what happened to me. First I thought it was like white blood blister but it is dying cartlige and then it will happen on the other side. And theres pretty much nothing you can do about it besides stop using, because you don't actually burn a hole through there, blood vessels constrict in there and after awhile, because of lack of blood flow, that part of your flesh/cart. Dies and falls out. It dies thats why you get a hole not because you burned through.
