Does this look like the start of skin necrosis? (Photo)

Asked By:beachbum101 in Sarasota, FL

I am 9 days post op open revision rhinoplasty. I am not able to see my doctor until Monday. I am really worried about the small dark mark on the tip of my nose that seems to have formed over night. It was not there 2 days ago when I had my cast removal. I would like some doctors opinions from this site as to what it could possibly be. Thank you in advance!!
