Minor wound not healing - what can I do? (photos)

Question

I have a small wound on my nose trying to scrape away sebaceous filament (which I thought was blackheads at the time) with floss. My skin on my nose was already compromised as I had an accident years before the flossing incident that tore the skin off the bridge of my nose causing PIE. The PIE has remained ever since but the wound is slightly more red than the surrounding PIE on my nose. Around my nose I have sebaceous filament but where the wound is there is no sebaceous filament. What can I do

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.
