Hello all. This is my first post here so here goes .Have just found that I have a whitish "plaque" that seems attached to my nasal septum. I've no idea how long it might have been there. Many years?? I don't know how or why it formed. Did deviate my septum about 10 years ago in a fall, and for the last 9 years have had systemic sclerosis and sjogrens disease which has caused dry nose. The plaque doesn't hurt, my nose isn't bunged up, I've had no nosebleeds or anything, but have driven myself mad with worry, convinced that this is some sort of cancerous lesion. My doc doesn't " think it's anything" but am going to see ent. Even that worries me as I have terrible visions of losing g half my face ( I know it sounds dramatic)
I don't really know what's happened to me in the last few years. Since my diagnosis with systemic sclerosis, a multi system auto immune condition, anxiety about my healthe has gone through the roof.
Would be very grateful for any insights into what this could be. Many thanks xx
