Permanent dent on nose after I squeezed whiteheads. (photo)

Question

After a few months I noticed a dent on one side. Is this permanent or will it disappear in time?I sqeeze one side of my nose more than the other and it is more dented than the other side.

Dear Pepepe123,It's unlikely that you would cause a dent in your nose after squeezing it. It will most likely disappear with time. If you any more concerns, I would recommend an in-person consult to better address your questions. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Dear pepepe123,
squeezing shouldn't cause any permanent damage to your nose. Just to be sure you should visit a plastic surgeon or ENT specialist for an in-person examination.
