I have suffered from a nasal septal perforation for about a year. I have quit the picking, fierce blowing, and spays and have kept the area clean and moistened. Despite my best efforts, I feel like the hole is getting bigger and the surrounding area, especially at the base and tip of my nose is thinning- I can see blood vessels exposed. Is this a sign of thinning nasal mucosa? I'm scared my nose is deteriorating. The anxiety of this is affecting my daily life. I need an experts help.
