My 10 year old cat has a sore on her nose. I noticed it a few days ago
and since it seems to be larger. It started out looking like a little
red dent. It doesn't look infected. It doesn't seem to be painful. She
is an indoor cat . There are no other animals or people in the house so
I don't think it is an injury. I don't know if I need to be alarmed or
not.

Cats are so stoic, I would take her to the vet to make sure she did
not hurt herself. I am sure this is not an emergency, does she have
a regular check up coming up?

Look up "Eosinophilic Granuloma". If that's what it has, it may be from
mosquito bite allergy.

My cat was diagnosed with EGC and she has gotten bumps on
her nose, but they are usually black. (That is likely due to her
coloration, she is a gray tabby.)
