I've had this on the nose of my bridge for probably more than 10 years now, since i was a child it just appeared. I've had warts on my chin that have been affected by treatments but nothing ever works for this thing except to leave me with a dark scar. I simply cannot find what this is and i would appreciate any information, thank you.

    It may be a lipoma...ie just a collection of fatty cells under the skin. Cant be removed by any "over the counter" treatments. A doctor can do it though. Not harmful at all.

      I did think that it could probably just fatty tissue as well since it hasn't caused me any problems. I was only concerned with the looks of it since it always has this line in the middle and its not just a bulge and i wasn't able to ever find anything similar to it on the internet, but thank you for the answer!

    If it should change in any way then you must see a doctor about it. If you are in UK no GP will mind having a look at it for a definite diagnosis. If you are lucky you may get referred to have it removed.
