I was trying to squeeze black heads out of my nose and usually my nose just gets read but now there are purple spots almost like bruises how do i treat this so that it will go away?

Leave them alone: Leave the lesions alone so that they can heal. A comedone extractor is sometimes used for this purpose. Squeezing the skin harms it.
