i recently squeezed a spot on my nose, but i think i squeezed it too hard, now there is a red rash a couple of centimetres long around where i squeezed. and it has been there all day. what is this and how can i get rid of it? thanks

<p>It sounds like it's simply normal trauma caused by the squeezing. This is the skins natural response to trauma. The redness should subside within a few days. </p><p>Meagan, Esthetician</p>
