Can Nerve Damage Cause A Bump On The Nose After A Dog Bite?
I was bitten on the nose by a dog a couple of weeks ago. 10 stitches. My nose has a “bump” inside of it and the tip of my nose is numb as well as my upper lip. This sensation begin immediately after getting bite. My doctor said I had nerve damage and that is what the bump is Do you agree ?

Hello,
The loss of sensation points towards nerve injury or damage. For that, you can be prescribed multivitamin and antioxidant tablet.
Anti-inflammatory medication also needs to be prescribed for the bump. The bump can be due to inflammatory swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
