Nasal Burn: Treatment will depend on the type of burn you have. If the skin peeled off, it is likely a second dergree burn. If from a sunburn, topical treatments to support the skin are often enough. If from a flame, aditional treatment is likely to be needed. With a potential scar on your face, it is best to check in with your doctor or a plastic surgeon in your area for the best possible treatment.

See Plastic Surgeon: It is important to drink plenty of fluid and keep wounds moist with antibiotic ointment (to which you are not allergic) after a burn. See a plastic surgeon for evaluation and management.
