Is there cartilage or bone sticking through my left nostril?

Asked By:livhay05 in Cleveland, OH

Hello! I am a 28 y/o African American female. I have had a recurring problem in my left nostril for as long as I can remember. It seems to start off as a small bump inside of my nostril, then it seems a piece of cartilage is sticking through. It comes and goes and is quite painful. I've never had any facial surgeries or trauma to the nose area. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.
