Was the nose fixed right after?

Infections of the face are very unusual except in the setting of foreign material like an implant or gauze or something to that effect. Was this repaired right after the accident? It's possible that a small piece of mucosal lining of the nose was folded in during injury or repair and it's creating a mucosal cyst. Or it could just be infected in which case you should be worked up for Diabetes or other chronic diseases. Stay on top of this and go see an ENT or... more
