Nostril gouging has the potential for recovery, but patients need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. The area around the nostrils is made up of the cartilage and the surrounding fatty tissues and skin, which have a certain degree of expansion and elasticity. If the nostrils are enlarged because of nose picking, patients should avoid bad habits for a period of time, the soft tissues around the nostrils may slowly retract on their own, basically restoring the original normal shape. If the patient picks his nostrils for years and years, and each time he picks his nostrils for a longer period of time, the nostrils may not be able to return to their normal shape. If the patient has nasal vestibular inflammation or nasal vestibular eczema, repeated nose picking may also lead to changes in the local skin and mucous membrane of the nasal vestibule, which may also lead to the nostrils failing to return to their normal shape. It is recommended that patients avoid the bad habit of picking the nose, and if necessary, consult the ENT department of the hospital to rule out pathological factors and take professional measures to improve the situation under the advice of a professional doctor.
