Is there any scientific evidence suggesting that picking your nose over a long period of time can make your nose bigger?

SW VandeCarr said:Your proposal should be entitled: "Proposal for a long term cohort study of the consequences of rhinotillexomania in children." This study is good for at least 20 years of funding.

No, picking your nose does not physically make your nose bigger. The size and shape of your nose are determined by genetics and bone structure.
Picking your nose excessively can cause damage to the delicate tissues inside your nose, leading to nosebleeds, infections, and scarring. However, these effects are typically temporary and can be avoided by practicing good hygiene and using proper nose picking techniques.
Picking your nose when you have a cold or allergies may provide temporary relief, but it can also introduce bacteria or irritants into your nasal passages, making your symptoms worse. It's best to use tissues or a saline nasal spray to clear your nose instead.
Nose picking can irritate and damage the septum, the thin wall that separates the left and right nostrils. However, this is not a common cause of a deviated septum. Most often, a deviated septum is caused by genetics or a previous injury to the nose.
If you must pick your nose, it's important to do it gently and with clean hands. Avoid using sharp objects or excessive force, which can cause damage. It's also important to wash your hands before and after picking your nose to prevent the spread of bacteria.
