Cocaine nose damage. Do I need nose surgery?

Alex Hamilton
I've got into coc for over 2years, just weekends. I stopped cuz my nose started to look skinnier around valve area. It's been over2months now,but noticed creases forming around nostrils. Stuck fingers into my nose to check septum n I swear I felt something bony like in my left nostril, its to deep up to see so I stuck a Qtip n saw very subtle blood. I'm freakin out now cuz my septum was fine a month ago. Is this damage going to continue even though it's been over 2months? Do I need nose surgery?
