Basically the question. I hit my nose in late Dec 2023 and ever since i've had this developing hump on the side of my nose bridge. It's almost like a ball when i try to feel it, but it's hard and doesn't move. If i press hard enough, it goes down for a few seconds then comes back up (almost like it's cartilage). i showed it to a general physicist and he said it could be a cartilage fracture but the x-ray didn't show much. What is it and will it go?? It's honestly ruined my face
