47 years old, metal frame glasses noticed bump which is like little bone and change to angled profile on right side of my nose. There is a bump then sharper angle then slopes out so like a little valley at side of tip. Other side seems like the same which is almost straight. Can this be from poorly fitting glasses? Is it permanent? Can it get worst? I’m really upset bc doesn’t look like me from that angle anymore. Only 11 months glasses. Update: I have seen so many optometrists and they give different responses and I even saw an ENT who is the one who told me it is a bone spur from being irritated, or that's what he thinks. It is only the R side of the nose, and it certainly feels different as well. I've wondered if the skin may have been thinned and is tricking me? It is definitely a different profile now. Thank you.
