infection because my ex next door? my nose was almost bitten off about 8 months ago by my ex next door neighbour as she has been evicted now, phew. anyway I was put on anti biotics and they have not worked. The lump is still there. advice please? do you think I should give it a few weeks and if the lump is still there or have gotten bigger do you think I need to see my doctor about this? The lump is on my face near my nose under the skin. please help. like I said the antibiotics have not helped any, so I am beginning to think it is no infection as my right hand side of my nose is swollen and is not going down. can you offer me some advice?
