A member asked:

I have a scar on my nose that came from when i scratched it too hard. what should i do to heal the scar quickly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scar: The scar will heal naturally as the nose has a good blood supply. To minimize the size of the scar, Don't manipulate the area and keep it clean.
