I have been experiencing a very odd painful (to touch) area on the right side of my nose ever since cast removal. This area has always been very tender, however has gotten better through the months and seems at a standstill now.My other side of my nose feels very solid, no pain, however the side and area circled seems almost slightly more squishy and painful when I press it.
