The most common places for primary (where cancer first occurs) mucosal melanomas to develop are the nose and mouth. Treatment is often delayed because the early signs and symptoms are minor and often ignored or misinterpreted. Signs and symptoms are:

Nose - Nosebleeds and nasal stuffiness, which may be misinterpreted as "sinus trouble"

Mouth - A pigmented mass and pain on swallowing, which may be misinterpreted as a canker sore or sore throat. By the time melanoma causes pain, it is probably quite advanced; however, an annual oral examination by a physician may detect melanoma in the mouth before it is well advanced.

Mouth/nasal cavities (nasopharyngeal) - Inflammation of the inner ear (otitis media), which may be misinterpreted as an ear infection.

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. The nose is a very bad place to have it. Moh's surgery im sure will be recommended for you. If you havent already, you should see a dermatologist so he/she can recommend the best of the best surgeon. Good luck

It means that you have a cancer growth growing either on the outside of the nose or the inside of the nose. Cure emu oil will kill those cancer cells, it takes about 4 weeks. good luck
