Is there a way to treat my nasal perforation?

Asked By:Jhawkins1985 in San Antonio, Texas

I have a hole in my nose from cocaine abuse back when I was around 17. I’m 36 now but I heard the nasal perforation can get bigger and it’s really scaring me. I quit drugs long time ago but I really really really don’t want it to get bigger. It’s kinda hard to see because it’s kinda higher up in my nose but it looks to be about the size of my index finger nail. It’s so annoying too like it whistles…not loud but I can hear it when I’m sleeping. I hate it so much!!! Is this treatable??? Thanks
