Pimple On Nose, Dark Discoloration After Rubbing. Suggestion?

Hi, i had a pimple on my nose , and i picked at it, due to this the top layer of the skin on my nose peeked off, down my nose about 1 cm. this resulted in pink raw skin and this healed in about 3 days and i scrubbed to early with s towel. Immediately after scrubbing i got a dark discolouration. Its been around 10 days and i gave had this kind of injury before, and it has healed completely but im very anxious about it. Is there anything you could suggest?

Hi
Thanks for your query
I understand your concern.
I suggest you not yo pick any pimple especially near nose as this is dangerous area of face.
Give simple its natural time to heal.
Wash your face regularly and avoid any cosmetic application.
In case it persist get examined by dermatologist as topical medication will be required.
Hope this helps.
God bless..
