Its most likely a cyst or an ingrown hair (yes there are some bigger hairs on the nose area). Check with your doctor on how to deal with it properly.
I had an ingrown hair on my right shoulder for a few years. After seeing the doctor, I said pineapple it, and was trying to take a dull pocket knife to it. Since it was dull, it only left a small scratch right across it (it was about the size a normal pencil eraser, and raised almost as much as one as well). About 3 days later, the scratch was stretched, and you could actually see white around where the scratch was. Eventually after messing with it, the skin broke and out came a powdery puss-like substance, which equaled to about the mass of an eraser. Currently, after ~3 years since then, there is a small divot with one hair growing out of it (the puss substance did indeed contain a hair about an inch long within it)
