My son is 8 years old and he is 4 feet and 6 long and weight is 204 kg. and suffering from breathing problems. When consulted in Max Hospital Delhi Doctors told to operate the nose because of flesh deposition in his nose. Tell me whether it will be safe or not and what are the risk factors
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of flesh deposition in the nose which seems to be due to formation of skin tags which usually grow where skin get irritated. They are generally harmless and do not bother. But some people get them removed because of esthetic purpose. Sometimes they are a nasal polyp, which looks like skin tags. There can be other reasons for skin tags other than skin irritation like hormonal changes, disease like diabetes and during pregnancy. Need not worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist doctor may order nasal endoscopy or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may remove them under local anesthesia by freezing liquid nitrogen or burning electric current. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
