Applying Pressure on Nose Hump?

I have an ugly hump on the bridge of my nose, so stupidly I used my fingers to just try and push it down and get rid of it... I swear it did actually reduce it a little for a bit... but when I looked at it again a bit later it looked bigger/worse :\ What have I done? Is it just swelling? Can I revert my nose back to it's original shape or have I messed it up :(?

Deformable bump of nose

What you describe is difficult to explain medically or scientifically. Generally you would have to apply sustained and consistent pressure for weeks or even months to produce a permanent effect. If, however, the bump is due to a cyst or other abnormal entity, there may be a one in a million expanation. See a surgeon for a evaluation and possible radiologic study.
