What Causes Blood Stains In Nose After Nitrate Nasal Cauterization?
My daughter just had nitrate nasal cauterization and her nose has what looks like dried up blood looking stains. Don t think it s actually blood because it won t come off. Tried hydrogen peroxide and alcohol and nothing will get it off. Not sure how to clean her face.

Don't try these things it can rebleed or harm the inside of nose- try to get off the stains / scans by liquid paraffin. Put in the nostril drop by drop - let it remain for a while - and the scabs will loosen off. If u r talking of stains on the skin of nose - those nothing to worry can be removed with any antiseptic or tincture benzoin or so
