Hello, I hit my nose years ago and since then is my nose hump more prominent, i recently tried to push it back with my hands and the area got red, now I see the hump is even more rounder and bigger, it has been a month since incident and the area still looks the same, could i have deformed the cartilage or cause some bone growth? How is it possible that by applying pressure to my nose is now bigger in size?
