Hi I’m a Caucasian female and I had a revision rhinoplasty a year and one month ago. A few days ago I had touched some blackheads on the tip of my nose which I know I shouldn’t have. But now I’m worried because the area is a little bit red and a little swollen and there is a small red bump that is slightly raised. When I gently press on the bump it hurts a bit too, almost like bruising. Could I have caused damage so long after my revision rhinoplasty?
