Scar tissue due to being bitten on the nose by a kitten years ago, is there anything to reduce the scar tissue? (photos)

Asked By:Gentle171620 in Woodbridge, Virginia

Hi! I’m a 24 year old female and about 4 years ago, my kitten was playing with me and ended up biting me on the nose pretty hard. I cleaned the area and noticed a bump on the right side of my nose tip predominantly. I figured it was just swelling and it would go down in time but as the years passed, the bump only grew in appearance due to I think losing over 100+ pounds. As my nose slimmed down, the scar tissue or bump just became that much more noticeable. Is there anything I can do?
