What can I do about blackheads and acne on the nose post rhinoplasty?

Question

After getting my cast off I noticed my nose has been very oily and there are a lot of black heads and small pimples on my nose, how should i go about safely treating this?

Brian Maloney, MD, FACS · Answer

After having the skin of the nose covered for a week with a splint, it is not unusual to have the skin break out. I would discuss your concerns with your doctor. Generally there are a few things that are recommended. Using alcohol wipes can help to remove some of the stickiness from the tape. Sometimes working with an aesthetician can help- your surgeon may have one in their office .
