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 :(?

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.
