Can causing trauma to the dorsal hump cause it to grow?

jadon abr
I apply a lot of pressure on my dorsal hump using the palm of my hand. The result if this is a smaller looking hump and a red nose, but after a few minutes the hump returns to its normal size. Ive been doing this daily and it seems that my hump Is getting bigger. Did I perhaps cause enough trauma to allow my hump to grow bigger in size?
