Asked By:lalaa9090 in U.K.

Hi, I'm 25 and for the last 5 years had taken cocaine, whilst I was doing this I suffered a problem with my thyroids and immune system so was unable to heal quickly. After doing cocaine it left scabs which quickly turned into a hole. Immediately I stopped taking cocaine but my hole has continued to get bigger. This has now caused me to feel too anxious and paranoid to leave the house. I need advice and hopefully help to fix my nose!! This is ruining my life! I want to get to the girl I use to be!
