I had rhinoplasty a year ago. So far so good but I have thus irrational fear of getting zits on my nose. Can an ordinary pimple cause goretex to be infected?

Yes, your nose is still deviated. You should consider a revision rhinoplasty. You also need some additional work on the tip. At least you are showing improvement.
It is completely normal for the nose to be swollen and firm after your rhinoplasty. As the swelling begins to resolve and the nose continues to heal, it will soften up over time. Unfortunately, this can take months to fully soften back to a normal state. Some of what you are feeling now is...
While a lot of swelling will go down in the first 3 weeks or so, it will take 3-6 months for all of the swelling to go away, followed by contraction of the skin for another year or longer. So don't worry too much now as things will likely improve a lot.
