What Is The Treatment For Black Eye And Minor Cut On The Nose Bridge?
Hit in nose 3 days ago, minor cut on side of the bridge. It is not disfigured or really that painful, just minor discomfort when I touch it. Also, I can breathe through it, it is just a little congested, this may be due to my cold like symptoms I've had the last few days. I have been applying neosporen to the cut and there doesnt seem to be swelling. I also have a black eye. What should I do to to treat this properly?

Hello
It seems you had a minor cut on the nose associated with black eye.
Black eye is because of collection of blood under the skin of eyelids. The treatment is by cold compression and observation. This usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to clear.
However you need to rule out any associated injuries to the eye.
You can continue use of ointment for the cut wound over the nose.
Thank you
