I've been dealing with whiteheads on my nose, and I've made a habit of picking at them. Recently, though, the skin on my nose started peeling, and now it's looking darker compared to the surrounding areas, plus there's this horizontal dark line running across it. I'm worried and wondering: will my skin eventually recover from this on its own? Should I be doing something different to help it heal?
