My nose always appears more red than the rest of my face, is there a way to fix this besides just covering it up with makeup? Preferably something natural as I don't want to go buy some product from the store... Also, it has nothing to do with acne, I don't know why my nose is like this, stupid nose.
Rudolph jokes begin, lol.

I do not think it is rosacea, as I don't get that type of acne. I suppose the redness isn't REALLY obvious, just enough to be noticable and make me feel self conscious.

That was a good site JT, and I suppose I might have it, hopefully not. But really I honestly don't think I do, not to be in denial =). I've always had a bit of a red nose, I think part of it is because my nose is kinda big lol. Is there not any mixtures I can use on my face that will smooth out my complexion?

Err sorry to keep adding all these details, it will be a book about my nose!
But one more thing, I suppose part of the redness is that I sometimes pick at my nose because it seems like the pores are always getting clogged.. Ick, so maybe is there something that helps to clear pores?? I have no idea, I was just hoping that someone would have a bit of a similar situation and knew something that would work.

Regarding your comments on rosacea and acne, you may be in the pre-rosacea phase of the condition. The acne you are referring to typically does not occur until the third stage of rosacea, the inflammatory stage. The inflammatory stage (at least in me!) does not often occur until you have had rosacea for several years.
Please read the following on rosacea, particularly the paragraph on pre-rosacea: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/rosacea/DS00308/DSECTION=2
Like the other posters, it is my opinion you have rosacea. However, I believe you are in the pre-rosacea phase.

You may have Roseaca, which can cause flare ups of red tones on the face. I found out I have it and being out in the sun, spicey foods and alcohol can cause flare ups. It sometimes is accompanied by cyst type acne.
Your doctor can confirm if you have it and prescribe some cream that may help.
