Scarring on baby's nose from milk spots

[thesmallestpotato]

I didn't realise at the time but now know how stupid I was to prod the milk spots on my baby's nose to nudge the white stuff out of the spots, she is 4 months old now and has red patches where they had been and a few quite obvious little holes

Is there anything I can do to help the healing/reduce the scarring? Will it improve over time?

I can't believe I was so stupid to think squeezing them would be fine, I wish I'd just left them alone

Does anyone have any advice?

Bloody h....!! OK you feel awful, but honestly, what exactly possessed you to do it in the first place?!

My advice would be to leave her scars alone and hope her little body will do the healing on its own!! In fact, I'm sure she'll be alright, but this is a lesson you didn't need to learn I'm sure!

Sorry, now I feel awful for my previous message, but I have a "thing" about children's scars...

Honestly, please don't put any cream on it as she is so young she could easily rub it into her eyes.

Hi there, I’m going through the same thing with my little one, I feel horrible, did it scar your Bub? Please let me know the outcome 😩 freaking out!
