Can the size of your nose be affected by how much you rub it?!


Question: I tend to rub my nose alot when it itches.
Or when i blow my nose i rub the kleenex on it.
Could this make my nose bigger?
It seems like my nose is a lot larger than everybody else in my family and i was wondering if this was one of the reasons why.

well, it might might swell a little, as all things do wen u rub them.

but its only temporary

uhmmm no! itll make it red temporarily, but why would it make it bigger..?

no. your nostrils might get bigger, but your nose marrow will not. Marrow is sort of like rubber. Take a rubber band rub it 1000 times. It won't get bigger!!

If you rub it a lot it sill become wider or rounder. The tip of your nose looses its definition as it becomes wider. It will not get longer though.

Yes. When I cry,have allergic reactions or get a cold, my nose gets a little "swollen".

Then again, maybe there's something your mother hasn't told you yet. (if you know what I mean.) JK

i have never even heard of such nonsence.
