My 10 month old kitten has had a purple lump on the end of her nose for a couple months. It's never gone away but has reduced to barely noticeable then flares up like today. I have no idea what it could be.

Anyone seen this before?

I would take the cat to a vet to have the lump checked out. It could be nothing or something that needs treatment like a cyst.

Whatever it is, it looks possibly infected and a vet can give you a good topical treatment to get it to go away for good.  Untreated it could become much more complex ($$).

This nose needs to be looked at by a vet. It can be something simple and I hope it is. But there are some serious nasal problems with cats that can happen too. Early diagnosis means better treatment.
Good luck.
