Is it on top of the skin or beneath the skin?

A cold sore ? but it is not red or crusty right?

Polyp? (Dangly bit of overgrown mucous membrane). Highly unlikely to be anything serious in a 6 year old.

Hmm yeah maybe that! X

inside the nostril? might be a small infection

My brother put stones up his nose when he was little-the dr took them out (or so he thought) and a couple of years later they realised there were some still up there but the skin had grown over them, could that be a possibility?

Hopefully you will get better answers tomorrow

Yeah inside the nostril and no I don't think he would have out anything up it. And yes will see today. Thankyou
