Got myself worried

I've had a bump / spot of some sort inside my nose for a while. I can see it but it has flared up a few times and can become quite painful. Googling wasn't much help so I eventually requested a doctors appointment online through the booking system yesterday morning. Just after lunch time I got a call from the surgery - an appointment booked for 5.15 same day which to be fair is an amazing service! I was examined and a cream prescribed for 10 days, told if that didn't shift it within 10 day to come back. Went next door to the chemist-again amazing service, asked when I'd last had my blood pressure done 🤷🏼‍♀️ took me into a little room and said the same about the cream and did my blood pressure! I felt like I was given the first class treatment and now I'm convinced this bump inside my nose is far more sinister than anyone is letting on 🥴 I guess I'll have to wait 10 days and see if it disappears.. woken this morning and it's hurting.

It's probably an ingrowing hair! If it was anything sinister, you'd have been referred for more tests! 😊

Did the doctor not say what they think it is? What cream did they prescribe?

I would trust that if the doctor didn't make a referral to a hospital doctor that they are happy that whatever it is isn't hugely worrying at this point.

There are some low level skin cancers that can be easily treated just with creams so don't need a referral or tests or whatever so it could be something like this.
