I have 2 embarrassing semi deep ice pick scars on my nose and tiny raised scar . 1 is on the upper right side and the other is on the lower left side with the tiny raised scar above it . They are all almost in the middle of my nose. Ive searched this site and noticed that not alot of people have these type of scars. I was just hoping to find out any information on anyway to remove these scars ,especially since its on my nose and nose skin is different from the face. Thank you .

I've been reading that a TCA cross is really good for ice pick scarring. I have them too :/
I read of one long-term poster on here that she got rid of an ice pick from doing that, some people end up worse off so you never know how it will work out for you...it depends on your body but i would def. go to a proffesional if you get something like that done

TCA cross on the nose is a no no.

Yes, sams right,... I finished some old forums that mentioned tca was a bad idea for the nose, since its a different type of skin. This only makes this more tough on figuring out a way to remove them . What about that punch procedure ? Have not read up on that.

I had a VERY narrow and deep icepick scar on the bridge of my nose. I had excision done on that one as well as two other wider, more shallow scars. The icepick scar is the only one that significantly improved from the excision.

really, so that procedure helped on the deep narrow ice pick ?? ... do you mind telling the size of indent it took on your pocketbook ?

Yes, it helped the icepick scar a lot, it's almost completely gone. The other scars barely improved at all. It was $700 for the three excisions, with some minimal dermabrasion.
