I practically grew a dorsal hump overnight. I am an 18 year old female. It developed literally over a day and I don't know what happened. I hit my nose on the side of a swimming pool, but it didn't really hurt other than a scab. I've always had a tiny dorsal hump, but never one like this. It's been a month and it still hasn't gone away. It feels like hard. I can't deal with this, what is it? Will it go away? Is it possible I did something to my nose when I hit it?
