That's not even possible to happen. You can develop a bump near it but that means it needs to be cleaned with warm water and uniodized sea salt.

Is there cartilage in your nose?

Yes, there is indeed cartilage in the nose of humans, which can be broken during sports or other heavy activity. Or, in extreme scenarios, if the cartilage is pushed upward in just a certain way, it would extend into the brain, most likely killing the victim. The bridge of the nose is formed partly of cartilages. On both sides are upper lateral and lower lateral cartilages. Three or four small cartilaginous plates called sesamoid cartilages are attached to each lower lateral cartilage. The cartilage of the septum separates the nostrils.
