Asked By:aab108108 in Los Angeles, California

I had a pimple on my left nostril (columella) and I popped it using tweezers. It was a black head but it later filled with pus, so I cleaned it and applied antibiotics. Will this result in an infection to my revision rhinoplasty? I am 9 months post op.
