Did Getting Hit on the Nose Cause Bump, and What Would the Treatment for It Be?

jj811
10 yrs ago at age 18 I was hit on the nose. It didn't bleed but hurt a lot & when I had an xray I was told it wasn't broken. At some point later a hard bump formed on one side where I was hit. It really isn't noticeable in person unless you are looking for it, but is very obvious by touch and in photos. It makes my nose look crooked. Can a hit cause a bump like this without it having been broken(or could it just be genetic & a coincidence that it's in the same spot?)& what can be done about it?
