Yes: It may be present from birth, acquired in the womb from tight positioning, or acquired in later life through trauma or infections.I find many physicians routinely fail to examine the nose well in kids, although I find it a significant location of childhood illness. Regardless, the treatment options as a young adult are going to be the same.
