Gummy Lump on horses bridge of nose?

[Bobbybarnes]

Before i start, He has the vet coming next week ok, so no "get the vet out!" comments please as the vet is booked.

When i got my horse he had this lump on his nose and over past 2 years its slowly been growing, its now about 2cm across his bridge and 2.5cm going up his face and just under 1cm maybe upwards???

its gummy to touch it feels hard but is slightly squishy although this could just be his thick skin? it doesnt feel attached i can move the skin around it but because of location it already is rather tight skin anyway. he lets me touch it but then again this horse lets you do anything if he thinks he can get food....

wondering if anyone has had any horses with things like this before with the outcome???

Don't know, but it sounds as if there may be a foreign body in it, probably encapsulated. Got a pic?

One of mine came with a small lump on his nose....just about where the noseband of the head collar would sit. It was very small at first, then grew quite rapidly and became squidgy. I was going to poultice it but he saved me the trouble by rubbing his nose on the gate...pus everywhere!

My cob had one that sounds the same, eventually it came to a head and was full of old thick pus and had evidence of a thorn or splinter in it.
