Suggest Treatment For Bumps Due To Scar Tissue In Nose
I have a hard, flat section of scar tissue inside my nostril that is causing a significant raised bump on my nose. I have ad it for years, but it seems to be getting worse, not better. This is a result of an infection from a nose piercing over 7 years ago. Is there anything that I can do about this? It is changing the entire shape of my nose.

Hi,
The bump is probably a granulation tissue or keloid following piercing. If it is too bad it can be removed surgically or intralesional steroids can be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
