The hole in my septum is getting bigger and I don't know how to stop it! I'm not touching and don't do drugs etc. Can it be closed? What is the success rate of closing perforations? I'd say mine is around 0.6cm. Is it treatable? I'm really embarrased by it and don't know who I can talk to. I have an appointment with a surgeon to take a look at it but couldn't get one for a month and I'm scared it will have grown even bigger by then. What can I do to look after it and stop it getting any bigger?
