Nose bridge bump. Could this be a bone spur? (Photo)

The bump in this area is most likely a bony protrusion/ spur. This can be smoothed with rhinoplasty surgery. Your deviated nasal septum can be corrected in the same surgery. It is better to consult a facial plastic surgeon and discuss your goals from the surgery.

If you are feeling a bump at the top of the bridge of your nose, that is the area where your nasal skin is the thinnest. It's possible that this has been there for some time and you didn't notice it. This is unlikely due to a deviated nasal septum or other functional nasal issue. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Hi @Toothypaste. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination and evaluation. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Hello! Thank you for your question.I have tried to evaluate your case from the photo and informations you provided but I would need more photos taken a little more away from front and side. Anyway, from the only photo you provided I cannot make an appropriate evaluation. It looks like there is a white point where it can be due to a bone but it can also be something else (due to the photo's quality). I would be happy to check again your case if you can provide more information and photos.Best regards!

Thank you for your question and sharing your photograph.

The small prominence on the edge of the nasal bridge is situated around the area where bone and cartilage are joined. It could be a fragment of bone or a fragment of cartilage that produces the problem.

Cartilage irregularities are sometimes compressible so when you feel the area if the bump feels very rigid it it may be bone.

In general, bony irregularities are more likely to produce pain when wearing glasses than cartilage irregularities but it is not 100% diagnostic.

I suggest that you discuss this concern with your surgeon for the possibility of either rasping the area or shaving down possible cartilage excess.

The bump on the bridge of your nose could be a variety of things, including a bone spur or a cyst. It is possible that it is related to your deviated septum, but it's difficult to determine without an examination. I would recommend that you see an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) or a dermatologist for an evaluation. They may want to perform imaging studies or a biopsy to determine the nature of the bump. They can also provide you with treatment options, which may include surgical removal if necessary.

Best of luck !

The bump could be in the soft tissue, bone, or cartilage. Can you move it or is it fixed? Best to have a Plastic Surgeon or ENT surgeon examine it. Depending on what it is causing it the treatment will vary.
