My Nostrils Are Unequal in Size, Can I Do Anything About It?

October 5, 2013
Asked By:shwareb

When I was younger I had hygiene-OCD and used to clean my nostrils very often with tissues thereby stretching my nostrils, and until today I do it but much less frequently. I'm 18 and started doing this when I was 12 and when I look in the mirror I see that one of my nostrils is bigger than the other. Can I do anything about this?
