Child With Petechiae On Nose, Is There Any Solution ?

My 5 year old has a petechiae on his nose. I am wondering what to use to get rid of it. If I poke it with a needle and release the blood , will it heal? Will it come back? What are my other options?

Hello
Thanks for nice query.     
Nasal petechiae should never be pricked ,as it fall in the dangerous area of face ,in which there is danger of spreading infection to brain . So consult the doctor for proper treatment

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Please do not poke it or it will stay as a scar on your child's face. Petechiae are not a good sign, could indicate a bleeding disorder. Kindly show your child to a Dermatologist and get required investigations done first and then appropriate treatment.
