In the past few days, I have a sudden indentation and dent in a line on my nose. What is wrong? (Photo)

Question

I have been having severe allergy, stuffy runny nose and sneezing fits. Nose bothering me. What could this sudden indentation be caused by or what is wrong?

Lydia Badia, MD · Answer

Hi, I advise to see an ENT consultant to evaluate your underlying nasal allergies. A physical examination will define better what is the cause of your nose indentation, however this could be a combination of cartilage and tissue  matter.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

You appear to have thin nasal skin, and the indentation in your tip may be where your two tip cartilages diverge. This may be improved with filler or rhinoplasty. I'm not sure why this has only been present for a couple of days - I suspect it has been there for longer. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph
