Does pressing on the tip of the nose make it bigger?

Asked By:Gregarious795616 in Abbeyville, Colorado, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri

I know that pressing on the tip of the nose cannot change the bone and cartilage structure, but could I have enlarged the skin there by pressing on the tip of the nose? I had such a habit. Lately I have noticed that my nose is more swollen and thicker than before . Is this possible? If possible, is it permanent?
