A member asked:
I have a small seborrhoeic filament on my nose that i squeezed. i've left it alone with moisturiser but it's still red and i want it to heal fast. ?

Leave it alone : It is better to leave it alone and not to be squeezed. Let it heal and do not squeeze again.If it persists contact your doctor or Dermatologist. These are sebaceous filaments. They are part of your skin and are going to be there
