What Causes A Lump On The Nose After Wearing Glasses?
I have a callus like lump from the nose piece on my glasses not fitting properly . I have had them before and when i got new glasses it pretty much would go away . The last it did not . That was 4 to 6 years ago . The new glasses sit just in front of it and press on it a little bit . My question is what is it and should i be concerned about it? It is not sore , never bleeds and it is soft, just bugs me . my father had the same thing for years . I am sixty one years old.
This is perfectly normal for poor-fitting glasses. Some people have marks over/behind their ears due to glasses not fitting properly. Anyhow you can reduce it by slowly massaging it before going to bed.
Regards, Rohin Kaul
