I have one upper atrophic scar since childhood on my right nose but now after a stubborn pimple, it seems like I may have another small crater/scar lower down on my nostril. The nostril crater/scar is less than a week old. Would it need professional TCA cross or should I see if it can heal by itself with aquaphor etc?
