I got my "septum" pierced (not through the cartilage) about 6 months ago. For the past 4 months there was a bump on the piercing with dark yellow crusts forming (I never had a serious infection). 3 piercers told me this was just from moving the jewelry around. But is it possible that this bump was a sign that either my septum cartilage or the cartilage at the tip of my nose was damaged/melting away? (I'm not sure if the tip of my nose actually feels "squishier" of if I'm just paranoid.) Thanks
