Sore columella, small open cut inside nostril. What should I do?

Asked By:temed82 in Dallas, TX

Hello, I am 2 weeks post-op and had a closed rhinoplasty. My columella on one side is more painful and tender than the other. (Like a mild throbbing pain) Also, it looks as though when a scab came out of my nostril it left what looks like an open cut. I cleaned it with peroxide and also put on neosporin. Should this heal on its own- and is the pain on one side normal?
