Will this barbell induced lump on my nose go away?

I've name changed in case any friends read this as they all know.
Anyway I was at home doing chest press with 20kg weights on each side of my barbell and lying on my workout bench. The weight was a bit heavy for me so I rolled it down my body to the end of the bench and stupidly attempted to change the weights on the bench. For some reason I can't fathom I unclipped the 20kg weight from one side and didn't hold the barbell so it flipped up at great speed and whacked me on my nose. It was agony!
I split my nose open, was bleeding everywhere and my head was spinning. I don't think I broke my nose as there was no crunching and I didn't have black eyes but I've now been left with a lump just below the bridge of my nose where I was hit.
The scar is healing well but when I feel the lump I can still feel a bit of skin scarring.
Can't I do anything with this lump does anyone think? Would massage help?
Ugh! Can't afford a nose job.

Hopeful bump (for the thread, not my nose 😆)

Fooking hell OP, that sounds bloody agony. You sure you didn't break your nose? Did you get it checked out?
Sorry no idea about the lump, but geez that sounds unbelievably painful.

It was broken for sure.

Crap-do you think I've broken my nose? I didn't go to hospital as my local hospital is beyond busy (I work in it so I know the pressure they are under). We don't have a walk in centre or anything.
Also I didn't think they would do anything even if it was broken so didn't see the point.
Rubbish!

You may not have broken it but the lump could be cartilage or something.
I've got a bit of a crooked nose from rugby twenty years ago, I think it still affects my ability to breath properly.
I'd get it checked out.

@Ihaventgottimeforthis thanks. I can breathe fine I think. I feel it's probably cartridge too.
