What's your advice for red tip with white bumps 9 years from rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Asked By:Lindalou22 in Beverly Hills, CA

I had a revision rhinoplasty 9 years ago with an ear cartilage graft to the tip. A Month ago my nose started turning red with occasional white bumps that pop around the cartilage graft. It doesn't hurt. My dermatologist prescribed me an antibiotic cream but it's been 9 days and it's not getting better. Could the cartilage be infected or cutting off circulation?
