Have I damaged my nose cartilage or tissue? Is this permanent? (photos)

Asked By:Daniel James in Hatfield Heath, GB

I read that pressure makes your nose smaller (stupid I know now) so I started pushing my tip in wards, for a short time it seemed smaller so I continued. I then started holding my tip up and thinking it would raise the tip. I have done this for a few months now. The other day I noticed the top was really bulbous instead of it being pointy, it is slightly red and bulbous now. It has been like this for about a week now, have I permanently damaged my nose?, will it go back to normal or not?
