How can I heal my acne nose scars? They are not noticeable.

I have squeezed some blackheads on my nose. My nose was previously smooth and straight. Now it is bumpy and the scars are taking a while to heal. I feel very self conscious about it. What sort of treatment would be recommended? The nose has no significantly noticeable scars, but the shape has gone from straight to a ski jumped sort of nose. Being young and vain, I am anxious to heal this minor scar so I can feel confident again. I rely on my face for my confidence - isn't it sad? Any recommendations on how I can treat this scar - a sort of narrow and shallow indentation down the centre-  would be most appreciated.

Do not squeeze anything on your face including blackheads.  You are better off just keeping your face clean by washing your face using an oatmeal-based bar soap found at a drugstore, health food store, or possibly a department store.  Call around to find it.  I'm not sure what you mean when you first say your nose scars "are not noticeable" but then mention your nose "is bumpy" with a "shallow indentation down the center".
