I was head butted during a soccer game, which left a somewhat sore nose and a cut on the bridge of my nose. I did not bleed from my nose (other than the cut) and there was no bruising. Also, my nose looked straight, so i found no need to go to the doctor. Now, after a week, the cut is still healing, but there seems to be a bump on the bridge of my nose under the cut. What would cause this? Am I going to have to get corrective surgery?

CONTACT NOW Answer: May just be swelling, unlikely to be broken In my experience, when you break your nose, your nose bleeds a good amount, it hurts, and there is often a deformity from the outset. A nasal bone doesn't break and then move a few days later if there is no additional trauma. If it is going to move or deform at all, it happens at the time of the injury. However, the tissues may swell in the days after and lead to a bump. I would leave it alone and monitor. It will likely go away in the weeks ahead. If not then you may seek advice from a plastic surgeon in a few months to see what it may be.

Answer: Signs of a nasal fracture include nasal bleeding, nasal swelling, under eye bruising, and a possible change in nasal appearance. It is conceivable that the lining of your nasal bone and cartilage is swollen and causing the appearance of a bump. An examination would be necessary to determine what might be best for you moving forward.Thank you.Dr Joseph

Answer: Bump on nose after trauma Its impossible to know initially whether the bump will be permanent or not. If there is a laceration, this will cause significant swelling of the soft tissues. A blunt injury hard enough to cause a laceration is certainly hard enough to fracture the nasal bones as well. See a nasal specialist who can evaluate your nose and help determine if there is a mobile fracture or not. Soft tissue swelling can persist for several weeks to several months depending on the amount of injury.

Answer: Bump on the bridge of the nose after being head butted Blunt trauma to the nose can result in a displaced fracture of the nasal bones, or a non displaced fracture of the nasal bones. In any event, a callus can form over the area of injury because bone and cartilage are still living tissue. Best to get an x-ray of your nasal bones immediately after the trauma and seek a consultation examination with an ENT/ facial plastic surgeon to determine whether or not it needs to be reset.
