Oozing And Crusting Over Rashes On Nose. Use Of Make Up To Cover The Bruises Due To Cut On Nose. Allergy?
Got a small cut on my nose and a hairline fracture when I fell a week ago. Went to the hospital and was told to wash the cut and use bacitracin on it. I did, but yesterday I broke out with a rash that is oozing and crusting over. I had used a coverup makeup to hide the bruising and the pharmacist told me that I am probably having an allergic reaction to the makeup.

Hi,
It seems that there might be some irritation produced due to make up on open wound.
Clean the area with antiseptic lotion and apply bacitracin cream.
If oozing and crusting continue then go for antibiotic medicine after consulting your doctor.
Ok and take care.
