November 11, 2012
Asked By:john0071

ok so ill start at the beginning. I had a mole removed on my far right cheek 6 or 7 years ago (when i was 12). They cut an sort of oval shape around the mole and then sewed it back together. (small red scar in the 4th picture). 2 years ago i broke my nose. now my nostrils are hard to breathe through and are very uneven. the left one is exposed and some what sensitive. Im not sure which of these 2 events caused this my dermatologist said it probably wasn't my mole scar though.
