What is the pointy bump on my nose and how can it be fixed? (photos)

Asked By:mrose1207 in New York, New York

I’ve had this pointy bump on the left side of my nose that’s gotten more obvious over the years. I am 23. When I turn my head to my left it looks like I have a big bump on my nose. When I turn It to the right my nose looks normal and straight although the little pointy bone still is obvious. When I look straight you can see this bone still. Sometimes it even looks like a pimple on my nose. Is this easily fixable? I’m scared of surgery.
