My puppy scraped his nose. How long to heal and get color back?

Question

Hi there. One week ago my puppy scraped the top of his nose while trying to get a toy from under a low table. There was no blood/no scab and at no point was he /is he in pain so it clearly wasn’t “Too” bad a scrape, but I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to help it heal/the pigment return so he doesn’t have a pink spot on his other wise black/brown nose. Also- how long should i expect for the skin/hair to grow back to normal.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It sounds like the wound was minor and I wouldn't recommend to do anything with it. Any products you put on it might just cause a bacterial skin infection due to the moisture, or he will likely lick it off. Just leave it alone to heal on it's own. It might take a few weeks. Best of luck with your puppy!
