[Skin Concerns] A scab on my nose that won't disappear

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So I have a small wound on my nose which is still pink/reddish. I got it two weeks ago when I punctured the spot with a needle and squeezed it because I thought it was acne forming. Turned out it was nothing… Here are some pictures:http://imgur.com/jDAJzwRhttp://imgur.com/jYOEq7fhttp://imgur.com/q1wkeiQThe wound is not open anymore and it's on the same level as the rest of the skin but I guess you can still see traces of where the needle was under certain light conditions (pic 1). Also, it doesn't have a rough texture, it feels like the rest of the skin.My skin is acne prone so my routine consists of mild cleansing, BP and moisturizing, every night before sleep. In the morning, I'm just cleansing and moisturizing. I'm using AHA every 4 nights or so. During the first week I got the wound, I still used BP and AHA on it and even put lemon juice for a bit. Please excuse my stupidity, I eventually realized that those things, especially the exfoliation, didn't help at all. They most likely had the exact opposite effect.Now I'm left with this. It used to be more red, now it's more pinkish but I can't really tell if new skin is forming. It's probably improving over time, but it's very hard to tell and is changing really slowly for sure.Now I'm only using a moisturizer on it along with a layer of vaseline on top. When it's well moisturized, it almost blends with the rest of the skin and it's no longer red, but when I remove the vaseline, it's back to its old condition. This hasn't really changed over the past few days.What should I do? Should I continue moisturizing it? How long will it take to fully heal? Also, will there be a scar left?
