i  had a tiny blood clot(thin projection on surface) in my frontal sinus region of my forehead due to some trauma/pressure in that area.it's not a pus,pimple,acne or something like that which is caused due to some infection. i hope u understand what it is.


i pressed in too hard with my nails, that skin turned red on that particular area and has eroded now.but no blood came out due to that, and skin shows no signs of healing... will it really heal? i think that portion of skin is badly affected, though tiny.

what can be done?please suggest me some ideas. i use coconut oil,aloevera gel,turmeric in that area. should i consult a doctor?please help me....please reply

Hello,
From the post it looks like dermatitis  caused by damage to the skin. Apply some calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You can also apply some good hypoallergenic moisturizer and some Mederma on the skin if it is a scar. If the symptoms persist then you can get a microdermabrasion done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
