Asked By:ashleykm in Ontario, CA

I have a tendency to pick and scratch at my nose subconciously.... I always tend to scratch off tiny blackheads and today i got a HUGE zit right front and centre of my nose, it was on the cartilage. I gently squeezed all the pus out and after i was done i started to freak out. my nose it swollen now(where i popped the zit) and i am worried i might have ruined somthing... please help. i have thick skin.
