Hard Bump Protruding at the Tip of Nose 2 Years After Rhinoplasty? (photo)

mumsnbabes
I have a hard bump (size of a pimple but not a pimple) protruding at the tip of the nose 2 years after rhinoplasty. Feels like a bone/cartilage but my rhinoplasty involved using ear cartilage for the tip so I'm very worried if this is extrusion in the process. If this is so, what should I do? Can a small revision surgery be done to just remove the bit of bump at the tip? instead of removing the whole thing? Could someone please help advise? Thank you so much
