Does anyone else get spots and lumps inside their nose? I know this sounds really strange but I'm not sure if it is related to HS because of the hair follicles. I sometimes get sores that seem sort of similar if that makes sense?

I recently got both of my nostrils pierced so we shall see if this stops it or makes it worse!

The nose carries staph germs. It was dangerous to pierce the nose knowing you had bumps. Keep triple antibiotic salve in the nose until it clears up and it it doesn’t respond to the salve quickly see a dermatologist. Wash hands anytime touch nose.

Personally, I would think the sores would burst when you blow your nose and it would have a foul odor. I have never heard of this being inside the nostril though and I've delt with this for over 40 years. I hope your piercings help. ( doubtful )

Hi Lindsey. If you had the spots and lumps After the nose piercings, I would say it could be Keloid. Having lumps and spots Before the nose piercings, I would have had to leave the nose piercings alone. Now, who knows what will happen if it's HS in your nose. You most probably will loose the nose piercings. Good luck Sweetie. Be safe 😀
