I think I have a chemical burn from a Biore Pore Strip. What do I do? (Photos)

Question

I used a biore black head strip on my nose and it seems to have left a chemical burn behind! When I cleaned it it looks as if someone scrapped or peeled back deep layers of skin around the one spot and now the boils keep popping up on the end. HELP! I don’t know how to treat this :(

Scott Trimas, MD · Answer

You may have peeled off some skin or created an infection from an infected pore. It is hard to tell from the photographs. I would see a dermatologist in your area or a facial plastic surgeon.

The posted photos appear as NOT a burn but a herpes breakout. But over the RS internet can not offer accurate dx's. Seek in person MD examination ASAP.
