The nostrils will not be enlarged.

Most nostrils are fixed after development and will not become larger due to frequent nose picking. Except when there are pathological changes, such as inflammation, the nose may become larger, but that is also temporary. Yes, it will return to normal once the inflammation subsides.

Although frequent nose picking will not make the nostrils larger, it may damage the nasal mucosa, reduce the self-defense function of the nose, and may lead to nasal inflammation or even nostril bleeding and other nasal diseases. If there are bacteria or viruses on your fingers, it may cause nasal infection.

Pickling your nostrils or pulling out nose hairs with your hands is not only uncivilized and unsightly, but also harmful to your health. You should pay attention to avoid this. Nose hair plays a role in filtering and cleaning the inhaled air. If the nose hair is plucked, the defense of the nose will undoubtedly be automatically released. As a result, bacteria and harmful dust will directly enter the lower respiratory tract, causing infection of the lower respiratory tract. In addition, after nose hair is pulled out, the hair follicles are damaged and bacteria take the opportunity to invade, which can cause nasal boils.
