Asked By:from NZ in New Zealand, NZ

I had an open rhinoplasty done over four weeks ago abroad. When my cast was removed on day 12, there was bruising on nasal bridge where I think graft was used. Doctor prescribed antibiotics for 5 days and triamcinolone ointment to apply to the area once a day and tape the nose for 6 weeks. bruising is much less now but still some redness there. I don't have access to my doctor and he doesn't answer my emails. What is this due to and what should I do? should I continue using triamcinolone, thanks
