Just had nose cauterized?!
Question: I had my nose cauterized today with silver nitrate because I get frequent nosebleeds. However now that nostril is blackened and charred looking on the inside and a bit around the outer nostril.... it looks terrible, but is impossible to get off. Any ideas for getting rid of the stain??

Have you tryed a little soap & warm water? Don't try to clean inside your nose or you may remove the scab & start the bleeding.
I would call the providers office or ER - whereever you had it performed & ask a nurse.
Vinegar/water
Nail polish remover
Vaseline
Hope that helps
whatever knicname or whoever they are say-- do NOT use polish remover on your skin, or anywhere u breathe or otherwise you may get very very sick off the fumes
the nail polish remover is there to act as an inhaled anesthetic. way to go for not picking up on that, _heart_. i mean, he's a top contributer. why else would he give that advice? but yeah, drink lots of crystal light too. it has electrolytes!
