Staph infection left me with altered nose

December 17, 2023
Asked By:noseemergency in New York, New York

I had a severe infection in my nose that was likely a staph infection that could be caused by me plucking hairs. After the infection subsided I had a hugeish hump on the bridge of my nose that seems like its bone. Is this hump permanent(it feels like the actual bone changed) or will it resolve itself over time? And is it possible for the staph infection to have caused formation of this hooked hump on my nose from bone?
