From your description, it seems you have a nasal polyp that is a non-cancerous growth that most often develops in the nasal or sinus lining. Go see an ENT doctor for further evaluation, because polyps can cause breathing problems and other complications if untreated. Do not try to press or squeeze the lump, as this might irritate your skin and make the condition worse.
