Painful Reddish Spot On The Nose. Broken Cartilage?
I have a red spot on my nose that really hurts when I touch it. It is at the tip, just left of the tip. I rolled over on my nose in my sleep about a week ago. It is possible I broke some cartilege doing that? I actully think it s getting slightly better, after a week or so. There is no pimple , just a round red spot that hurts from the inside to outside of my nose.

hi pegzilla. i have gone through your problem. dont worry this is not a broken cartilge.at times during sleep due to mild irritation u might have rubbed the tip of nose resulting in red spot formation.u can apply local antibiotic Muprocin twice a day. You will be relieved.
