I squeezed the tip of my nose to remove whiteheads. when i let go it was really red and thought it was going away ,now bruised and red. what can i do?

Leave nose alone: The more you try to press your nose, the greater the bruising will be. Popping whiteheads can also result in scarring. Try to resist the temptation to "pop those zits." Instead use acne medications such as benzoyl peroxide wash and adapalene cream.
