What do you think it is? It feels like a very pointy skinny bone also makes that side of my nose upper lateral cartilage collapse causing a indentation
Answer: Dorsal Nasal Spur Thank you for your question and photos. I call this a "dorsal nasal spur". This is seen in thin-skinned patients and is a deformity of the junction of the nasal bone and upper lateral cartilage. And as you mentioned, it is typically associated with a depression of the cartilage. Correction would require a rhinoplasty to gently file down the bone and support the upper lateral cartilage. I hope this helps!

Answer: Bone? It is likely that the bump you feel is either bone or cartilage. It is best to be seen in person, but the only way to permanently remove it is by rhinoplasty.
