Aa
cut on nose
I have a small cut on my nose that I believe I obtained when I was a small child, not really sure how. Ever since than my nose has had a red mark where the cut appeared and I'm wondering if there is a way to get rid of it. In the pic it might not be that noticeable because of the camera and the lighting but my nose has a distinct red tinge to it. Could be a scar, I'm not sure any insight would be helpful.

Hello,
You can use the microdermabrasion cream but make sure that it does not cause any irritation or redness. You can consult a dermatologist and then use it.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Would it be just as good to buy some at home microdermabrasion cream. It would save me some money. I found something by Olay, which includes the peel activator serum and the derma-crystals. It got good reviews by consumers. Think I should give that a try?
