Had nasal splint removed after 6 days, but have dried blood/external stitches on nostrils, and also have a pea-size laceration on nose as a result of numbing prior to rhinoplasty (I had rhinoplasty with local anesthesia---no bones were broken). What is the best way to deal with the dried blood, without disturbing stitches on nostrils? and how should I deal with that laceration left from the needle mark on my nose from the needle? Can I cover the laceration with a band-aid, or just let it air-dry?
