Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a teenage girl, not on any medication. After picking on the blackhead on the nose, the area around it has turned red and formed a scab. It is yellow, and I am just scared it will worsen. Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.
It will not get worse, so do not worry. It will heal in two or three days, so do not touch it. Never pick blackheads, but I suggest you apply ointment Soframycin (Framycetin) twice a day for five days, and it will disappear. Consult a specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medication.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
