What Could Cause A Stain Under The Nose Of A Child After Cauterization?

My granddaughter got her nose cauterized today. By the time we got to the car there was a terrible stain under her nose. We tried hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, baby oil. Nothing worked. Says she will not go to school tomorrow! ( I don t blame her. It looks pretty disgusting.

Hi,

Scars are most common effects of nose cauterization. Don't use any kind of applicants for the scar. It may fade away as time advances.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priya, Dentist
