Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
It can't be said at the moment whether the damage is permanent or temporary without examination.
Avoid any further cocaine use. Permanent damage is due to cartilage loss. Avoid scratching the nose. Apply neosporin ointment. It would be best to get examined by an ENT SPECIALIST.
Please send me the pictures of your nose so that I can suggest you better.
Take care
Thanks and regards
