It’s on the side of my nose, so the skin is thin. It is raised from the surface. It appeared a while ago (months) and has grown. I thought it was a blackhead initially but now I’m not so sure. What do you think? And if it is a blackhead, how do I remove it? Ta everso.

Get medical advice on that one, unless you are absolutely sure it's a blackhead. Send the photo to your gp.

Looks like a mole to me, and sore. So don't leave it.

Bit difficult to tell from that photo. Can you post a clearer one?

Blackheads look like craters with a black filling.

I would hazard a guess it is a mole. I would get it checked ASAP. I had a mole that changed shape quite quickly. Had it checked but it was fine.

Looks like a mole. Talk to your gp because such rapid change is worrying.

Thanks for your replies, I will message my GP tomorrow. I thought it was a blackhead and safe! Glad I posted.

You need to have that examined.

It really doesn't look like a blackhead
Glad you're getting it checked
