I am a 34 year old female. In the last 2 years I have noticed a bump growing on the left alar cartilage. I also have a 2nd bump higher up inside my right nostril. Both are causing my nose tip to distort. I have seen 2 ENT consultants. One privately. Both have said its my cartilage continuing to grow. Is this possible? One said surgery will not solve the problem. Will it get any bigger? There was no mention of rhinophyma. No tests or biopsies have been carried out. Can it be resolved. Im so distressed.
