In the last 2 years I have developed a large benign growth on the tip of my nose. It sticks out 3/4 inchs and is dark brownish red. It is hard and painful when touched, also when I sneeze a dim yellow substance is secreted. I have no health insurance so I can't go to the doctors. Any solutions on how to get rid of it??

I would work on getting health insurance and taking care of it properly.

Do you qualify for low income health care insurance?

Do you have low income facilities with minimal fees?

I am not sure how all the insurance works... I really don't want to mess with it. Do you think if I properly sanitized the area and tried to dig it out it would be OK??

Then pay the bill and go to the doctor.

I will not recommend 'digging it out' on your own.

NO!! This could be a carcinoma... skin cancer. You need to have it properly examined and treated. There is no way you can treat this at home without risking serious infection and possibly permanent disfigurement.
