Little tiny hard bump on left side of nasal bone.

Question

I’ve had a little tiny hard bump on left side of nasal bone for about a week now. It’s hard and looks like it’s on my bone and not on skin. It’s maybe 1mm? It doesn’t hurt. As humans we all think the worst. I’ve never had a nose job but I do wear eyeglasses at all times for the past 10 years. It’s a small, round, hard bump on left nasal bone. It’s not noticeable unless I move my nose around and I can feel it. Any feedback will help. Is it life threatening?

Hello!
I would consult with a qualified physician and have an in person evaluation to better examine your concern. You have had a tiny bump on your nose for only a week now so it might get better with time.

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Since the bump has only been present for one week, it may go away with time. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hi there, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell what you are feeling just from your description. I am thinking it could be a skin lesion or a small bone irregularity. It makes me wonder if you could have broken your nose and are just noticing the irregularity now? I would recommend seeing your PCP who can help figure it out and refer you to a specialist if needed. Hope this is helpful

Bone and cartilage are living tissue, and can respond in small  bumps and irregularities after the procedure. Best  to check with your operative surgeon.
