Asked By:s0205044 in Boston, Massachusetts

I have this weird bump on the side of my nose for almost 7 months now. I had my rhinoplasty done on Jan 17 of this year. I just wanted dorsal aesthetic lines pretty much a contoured nose. After i had my stitches removed I noticed that only the right side of my nose where the side crevice is a weird red pimple. It’s very painful when I try to clean it and it still there to this day. What is it and what can I do to get rid of it ?
