What could cause the cartilage in my nose to swell and hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: Trauma (punch to the face, etc), cellulitis (infection of the skin), cartilage inflammation (autoimmune chondritis). There are more i'm sure but those are the most likely. Get it looked at by a doctor.
