Nasal "bone" sticking out between nostrils (Photo)

Asked By:patricia202 in Garden Grove, CA

Hello i am looking for answers about my 15yo son about his nose situation... What should i do ? For now my son doesn't have any respiratory problem nor swelling just his left side nostril skin droping lower than his right side. My biggest worry is that the skin is a barrier against germs and knowing that most of the germs enter our body through our nose makes me nervous. ( not forgetting all the allergens and other polluant either ) Thank you for your help
