Skin issues

After rigorously squeezing blackheads on my nose, i'm now left with a dark tip at the end of my nose. Curious if i've perhaps broken blood vessels. if so how long does it take to heal?

Hi.
Never squeeze blackheads or spots. Doing so spreads bacteria under the skin leading to more spots, delayed healing time and even scarring. Instead ask your doctor for a retinoid gel such as Retin-a or Differin which will clear blackheads and spots and fade post-acne marks.
It is difficult to say how long it will take for this hyperprigmenation to fade. The majority of post-acne scarring is superficial and will fade within a year.
Eloise.
