I had severe acne in high school, especially on my nose. Years later I now have this scars on my nose. They're bumpy and raised. Noticeable on any lighting. It is ruining my self-esteem to a point where just looking in the mirror can ruin my day. Feeling a little hopeless and quite depressed. Will I ever have a normal nose texture again? Is this fixable? I just need all the information and suggestion I can get at this point. Currently saving for a dermatologist consultation. Thanks guys.

I can hear how much this bothers you, so you may want to find a good scar revision specialist. A lot of things can be done with scarring to even out the topography of skin. I imagine they will suggest either laser or chemical peels for your scarring.

Check this page for more info and how to find a good doc.

Keloids and hypertrophic scars can be addressed with corticosteroid injection. It should not be difficult to treat. Talk to your dermatologist.
