A member asked:
Can excessive yawning or frequently opening mouth wide daily (such as to shout or sing) cause the small bump on sides of bridge of nose to get bigger or become more prominent? or does only surgery change nose/bump shape?

Bump: One possibility would be that your bump is a swollen nasolacrimal duct can be associated with the frequent yawning and open mouth. This changes pressure in your nasal passage way and can air to the structure.
