Bulbous Nose & Nasal Congestion? (photo)

Hi I think it started arnd 10yrs ago when i was arnd 18@19yrs old. It was pimple that started to coming out. But then, the bum never subsided and I think it's getting bigger and i feel like a piece of meat been stick to my nose. Second, I can't remember when this started, but I have this nasal congestion since forever, my left nostril. Sometimes, when I pinch/pull up my nose at the tip, I can breath using both nostrils.... What am I having and how to treat this?
