Weird spot/lump on nose *pic included*

Hello! Just looking for a second opinion really, for over a year now I've had this spot/lump on my nose. It's rock hard, won't burst and it feels like it's part of my nose, but I haven't always had it! Recently it's got much bigger, you could hardly notice it before.

Is it worth a trip to the doctors? I feel pretty stupid because it's just a small lump, but I'm not sure what it could be! I don't want to waste the doctors time if it's nothing.

Has anyone got something similar? I'll attach a pic.

I would go to GP- especially if it is getting bigger. They might just remove it. Probably a cyst.

@LuluJakey1 thank you, I'll make an appointment x

Deffo a trip to GP any spot that you have had for a while and then suddenly changes in size colour or texture warrants a visits to doctors good luck!

Thank you @whatshappening1! That's what my first thought was, just wasn't sure if I was overreacting! I'll book an appointment tomorrow xx

When it comes to lumps and bumps it's never overreacting if it could potentially save your life! Please tag me when you know what it is'

I'll let you know what they say when I go tomorrow! It's probably absolutely nothing but you're right it's better to be safe than sorry!

@whatshappening1 had the appointment today and the doctor wasn't happy with it, but because it's less than 3mm he won't refer me just yet, I've got to go back in 6 weeks time if it's still there. I was hoping he'd just tell me it was a spot Confused
