I think I have a chemical burn from a Biore Pore Strip. What do I do? (Photos)

November 4, 2017
Asked By:kmwrenn in Tampa, FL

I used a biore black head strip on my nose and it seems to have left a chemical burn behind! When I cleaned it it looks as if someone scrapped or peeled back deep layers of skin around the one spot and now the boils keep popping up on the end. HELP! I don’t know how to treat this :(
