Asked By:uskimmi510 in Georgia, GA

Hi...my nose was broken a few times because of domestic violence in my 20's. In the last 2 years i noticed a bulbous like appearance and 2 "bruise like" patches formed on the tip. One patch is on the top left hand side of the left nostril and the other one is right in the middle paet between the 2 nostrils. When I touch the tip of my nose I feel something sharp...like bone spit in half. The left side of bridge is caving in too I have very bad headaches and hard to breathe. Should I see a doctor.
