Why do I have a hard/sharp spot on the very end of my nose? (Photo)

charvic93Nov 5, 2018

I recently had a open rhinoplasty exactly 1 month ago. On the very end of my nose is a hard/sharp spot, it feels that hard it could pierce my skin. It is not red and does not hurt, when it’s cold it sometimes itches. This has been there since 1 week post op.

The lower third of your nose will hold onto swelling for an entire year. The diagnosis of a 'polybeak' would require an examination. If you have residual supratip swelling, you can ask your surgeon whether a dilute steroid injection may be beneficial for you. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question. I would recommend not using any adhesives or aggressive skin treatments to your nose this soon after surgery. The area is very delicate and you want to treat it as gently as possible for the first few weeks. Ultimately, I would advise speaking to your surgeon to s...
