Had random infection/absess (~7 years ago, not treated). After the incident there is bump at the upper end of the supra-alar crease. Inside the nose, the non-effected side the cartilage pinches in, but on the effected side is pretty much wide open like a dome. The cartilage is springy like a button (rubber dome key), sometimes if I push it will stay in and pop out a fraction of second later. Its amusing but I wonder how hard it would be to fix it.
