My left inside of my nostril is swollen why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly an infection.: If it's swollen and it hurts it is most likely a staph infection of the hair follicles inside your nostril. If there is no pain then it may be a benign cyst or some other process. An ENT doctor should be able to easily look inside your nose and tell.
