Does everyday activity such as; touching, picking, washing, rubbing, itching, or bumping make your nose grow? Can it alter the bridge of your nose or cause a bump? Can it cause cartilage growth? Change the shape or make it fatter/wider? I need to know, it is driving me crazy.

Answer: Touching the nose... There have not been any studies of this that I know of so no one can say for sure. A nasal fracture can cause a bump on the nose. Also, the tip of the nose is connected to the septum by ligamentous tissue that can weaken over time. It is possible that constant pulling on the tip might weaken this tissue further.

Answer: Pulling your nasal tip downward may lead to an elongated nasal appearance. The effects of gravity on the face do not spare the nose, and many people experience a longer nasal appearance with aging, Gravity persistently pulls the tip of your nose down, along with many other facial soft tissues. Manual downward force on the tip of your nose may stretch the ligaments from your bridge to your tip leading to a bigger appearance.Hope this helps.Dr Joseph
