During my rhinoplasty, i had a full incision outside my nostrils. stitches where removed on the 3rd day, then some holes opened, it almost took a month or two for the holes to close causing a pinkish lines. then i noticed some pores sunk (depresssed scar?). aside from that when i wash my face, there are still some small white/scab looking/not sure if it's dirt material inside the holes and sides of the scars. should i remove it? and will these scars fade? thank you so much.
