Red Bump on my Nose Tip? (photo)

TTTTTOct 17, 2012
Hi, Its been a year since i did a goretex rhinoplasty. Recently, there is this red bump on the tip of my nose. It's been there for around a week, it is not painful and it doesn't go away (doesn't seem like an acne to me) I'm kinda worried about it, can anyone help me to identify what is causing it? Thanks

Widening of the alar base is common after maxillomandibular advancement due to the upper jaw advancement and possible buckling of the septum. A rhinoplasty to address the width and buckled septum is appropriate.
