Why is my nose changing shape?

April 11, 2014
Asked By:katt93 in Los Angeles, CA

Over the course of the past six months my nose has changed shape on its own. My right nostil is now bulged out and becoming more defined whereas my left nostil has remained unchanged. I'm only 21 years old and haven't had any recent facial truama. I do have sinus inflamation problems and recently started using a nasal spray to open my airways. But how is it possible and why did my nose change so dramatically in appearance the past few months? It's not symetrical anymore and starting to worry me.
