A bump has appeared on the bridge of my nose 8 months after my surgery. I got my nose done 8 months ago. 3 months after I had gotten it done I was hit in the right side of my bridge with a wooden block toy. It left a bruise and a bump which went away by itself after 2 weeks. Now 8 months in, about 2 weeks ago couple hours after waking up I noticed a bump had appeared on the exact same spot that I was hit on with the wooden block toy. The bump itself is hard and when pressed on it doesn’t squish down, the bump has started growing and expanding in length. What do I do
