Suggest Treatment For Blackened Nostril Opening After Nasal Cauterization
My son had 2 spots inside his nose cauterized yesterday and now the opening to his nose looks black. He even has a spot on his upper lip and cheek. The dr also use Neosynephrine before the silver nitrate. Why did his nose turn black when my other son whose had it also done before never has? It looks like a burnt bruise

Hello,
The blackish discoloration can be due to blood clot formation after cauterization. I suggest you to consult your surgeon for clinical assessment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
