I recently noticed that I have what appears to be a cartilage bump on my lower right side nose. I especially notice when I smile it appears white and it feels like cartilage. I don't recall having this even a month ago (I looked at pictures and it appears very mildly (in fact I never noticed it in my life), but now it is extremely noticeable). What could have caused this to worsen? Can it be repaired easily? Could it be related to Tori in my mouth which I do have? Thanks!
