On second thought that looks like a wart to me.

I doubt anyone is gonna go stick their head in a beehive after reading this.   The bee venom causes sclerolysis (dissolving of tissue)   So, the theory is of you get stung on a scar than it ...

I have had a pimple on the top of my nose for over a month. It started as my whole nose being swollen, with like a piimple on top of the swollen part. The swelling went down, but the pimple did not....
