Hi everyone! I wonder if anyone can help me. I have severe health anxiety and had to attend the breast clinic last week due to breast pain. Thankfully I got the all clear and was so relieved. Instead of now being happy and relieved I’ve managed to focus on a recurrent problem I’ve had in my right nostril. For the last 8 years or so I’ve had a white sore pimple appear in the same spot inside my right nostril. It goes away but will then reappear after a few months. The area remains red but not sore and then a white pimple will reappear. I have become obsessed with this now and convinced myself I have nasal cancer! Please help!

How have you managed to do that?

You would be quite dead by now.

Even if it were the slowest growing cancer you'd at least have no nose.

I keep trying to convince myself I'm rich. What's the secret to doing so? ;)

You gotta keep it clean. Swab it each night with a ear swab with peroxide on it.

Wow, imagine if we used the energy we waste on HA to do something constructive.

Well I know that sores which don’t heal and keep recurring can be a sign of cancer!

That's a pretty weak argument after 8 years. Even the dragon is going "Nope".... ;)

Have you not asked a doctor in 8 years?

I did see a doctor about it 2 years ago and she gave me some cream for it which cleared it up but it comes back every so often - hence the anxiety!

I have a friend who has squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) inside her nose and the warty growth came on over 6 months. Despite ointment from her Dr (and misdiagnosis) the legion did not heal. If you've had something going on for 8 years then it's not cancer, it's likely a blocked sebaceous pore which erupts from time to time. However maybe see your Dr for some different medication.
