Is it possible for my bone callus to continue to grow after 7 years? (Photos)

Asked By:dyseas76 in California, CA

I got a nose fracture about 7 years ago with a picket ball that hit the left side of my nose with a strong force. I believe bone callus was produced durning my healing process and it has not gone away, and may never go away completely. The issue is that I have a lot of tenderness and every time anything barely hits or taps my bump, I feel like it continues to grow & become more apparent. Has my nose not completely healed or does the bone callus continue to grow?
