My daughter had her nose cauterized after severe nose bleeds and now has black marks on the outside of her nostril . I think these are burn marks from the nitrate. Will this heal quickly? Also if there are any scabs on the inside of her nose in coming days should we just leave it until it falls out by itself. We don t want it to bleed obviously.
Hi dear and welcome to Chat Doctor....stain or mark due to nitrate is neither harmful nor permanent.....there is no way to wash off or remove the stain by any way, except the natural process ...this mark will completely disappear with time when the dead skin is replaced by new skin ..... wish you good health ....
