What are these bumps on the right and left side of my nose? (photos)

Asked By:sincerely.vivi in San Francisco, California

Hi! I was looking to see what these bumps on my nose are. The bump on my right side has been on my nose for over three years now. And the other one is starting to grow. I’ve already seen a dermatologist, who said that this was cartilage & there was nothing that I could do other than getting a nose job. I’d prefer to see an ENT doctor, & will be looking into one soon. The bumps stopped growing, but cause discomfort and they appeared out of nowhere, overnight it seemed to me.
