Hole/divet on my nose after mole removal 8 months ago. How do I get rid of it or make it look better?

Asked By:MavsFFL in Dallas, TX

I'm an 18 yr old male and I had a mole in the center of my nose removed about 8 months ago. I went to a dermatologist and she injected the mole and removed it with a blade. There was new skin building over the area and it was looking good until I accidentally ripped it off while drying my face. After that there was a hole/divet left that still hasn't healed at all. It is in the center of my nose and is very noticeable. What can I do to make it heal or look better that doesnt cost too much money?
