Extended cartilage/bone

2016-01-12 15:35:06
I have extended cartilage or bone above my nose, between my eyes. It was small at birth but now it is of around 12-14 mm diameter and it's slowly increasing. I have consulted several doctors but didn't get any satisfactory result. What should I do? Is surgery a safe option to remove it? Or specific doctor to consult?
