Will this type of chemical burn heal eventually?

[Regimen87]

I accidentaly put a little bit of wart remover on my nose thinking that it was something else (small bottle wasnt labeled). My nose subsequently blistered and peeled, and a scab appeared. I applied neosporin and slapped a bandaid for good measure. Four days later I took the bandaid off and the pink spot (under the now removed scab) healed to the point where it isnt sensitive to the touch anymore. I worry that this pink spot will never go away because it looks as if it is finished healing (the pink part is level with the rest of my skin). Is there anything I should do? Am i permanently scarred?

(side note: I did research..wart remover is essentialy sacrylyic (sp?) acid..same stuff people use to remove acne i think..also the pinkish spot is also very slightly white)

Hello,
Since the pink spot is turning white, it can be due to post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Post inflammatory hypopigmentation is very difficult to treat but sometimes it goes away on its own after exposure to the sun. Creams like  Elidel cream or Protropic can be used on these hypopigmented  areas but at such a young age it is not advisable to use them . If the symptoms still persist then  you can talk to your dermatologist about laser-assisted chemabrasion(LACA).

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
