It will get shed off

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Yes, it is dead skin ,dead WBC and dust which surrounds a nose prick or ear prick wound.

There is no need to worry, this tag will shed off on its own. To speed up the process you can apply antibacterial cream like BACTROBAN.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
