Nose

Your nasal septum is a thin wall of cartilage between your nostrils. In most people, the septum is straight and sits in the center of the nose. But if it's not in the center, or if it's bent or crooked, we say you have a "deviated septum." This can cause breathing problems and other issues.

This is a small, soft growth in your nose or sinus cavity. You may have many polyps, and they can be small or large. They are not cancerous.

This condition is an inflammation and swelling of your sinuses. These are hollow, air-filled cavities in your skull. They open into your nasal passages. Sinusitis can be a painful condition. For some people, it can become a chronic problem.
