Q: Growth In Nostril/headache

I've been seeing doctors over the past year for an overall feeling of illness. I've had cat scans, blood tests, nothing was revealed. The past couple of months I really started to notice my face being asymmetrical. On one side, the bridge of my nose is very swollen, as is my eye socket, and forehead. I've had debilitating headaches in the past month. I am nauseated by them, and sometimes have difficulty with simple tasks. I definitely feel neuroligcical changes. My doctor is new, and she was stumped. She thought hmmm...Maybe lyme disease. I said, "would that make my face twice the size on one side, and cripple me with pressue type pain?" she ordered a ct scan of the brain and sinuses. I went monday. Yesterday, thursday, the pain was horrible. I hadn't heard anything from the office, so I called. Apparently my doctor is on vacation. The nurse said that she hadn't seen my report, but that was probably in a stack, that she would find it, grab my chart and phone me right back. I waited and waited. At 4:30 she called me and said that a doctor from the office would need to talk to me about the results. That he may call me that night or this morning. Well, now i'm wondering what is going on! I took a flashlight, and shined it in my nose. The entire right nostril is completely blocked by a hard, red, bony like growth! What are the possibilities with something like this? Thanks for your time!

nasal growth
I have the same hard red nasal growth as you. I am getting a CT scan this week. Did you find out what yours is?
