Had rhinoplasty at age 19 and I'm now 26. A callus appeared a year or two after the initial surgery. I had a small procedure to remove the bump and it went away for six months and returned. It goes through phases where it's bigger sometimes and others it's not as bad. My surgeon has tried chipping away at it with needle and small amount of steroid. We've tried with and without steroid. I have gone twice a year over the last 4 years and it won't go away. What do you suggest I do?

If you have soft callous formation or subperiosteal heme, massage can help. Your surgeon can give you a steroid shot to potentially help with this. It may not go away, but it could become invisible in repose.
