How do I get rid of these small bumps on my nose?

Question

I have these nasty bumps all over my nose and I dont know how to get rid of them! they are kind of like mini pimples but they look so gross! all of the acne products I've used worked on my regular pimples around my face, but not these nose bumps. I really want to get rid of them before I go to my new school in september. please help!!

also, I've tried nose strips and they did not help. I've had blackheads before and these definately are NOT blackheads. I wash my face everyday with clearasil Ultra and use an oil-free moisturizer with salicilic acid in it. but the bumps dont go away. My entire face is acne free, except for my nose. Its so disgusting that i hate looking in the mirror because of it. talk about gross!

and I've used the clearsil ultra cream, and the regular clearasil cream... they didnt work. I also used salt water(yes i'm that desparate!!) and I use a product called Acne-Free. It worked everywhere except for my nose. I cant go to a dermatologist so I dont know what to do!!

The mousturizer I use is Clean and Clear Advantage Facial Moisturizer...

Answer 1

Keep exfoliating the area... the "bumps" are just a buildup of skin cells & sebum. If your skin can tolerate a scrub/mask/peel, utilize that once or twice a week. You can buy these at a drugstore or Sephora. Also, you may want to switch to a cleanser with an acid exfoliator in it, which will help each time you wash your face. It may take a few weeks, but stick with it. It will work!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Hi,
I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria.

In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.

It is probably bumps from dry skin (I get flaky or bumpy on my nose first, if I start using an acne medicated face wash) You are most likely overdrying your nose with all your medicated products because you think its blemishes but it's actually dry skin, and what you use is probably making it worse. What you should do is: buy an exfoliating face wash to use once or twice a week (at night) on your nose.*Exfoliate in a circular motion* (Try Garnier Nutritioniste "Nutri-Pure" microbead cream scrub, or St. Ives Apricot Scrub {the one WITHOUT acne medication}). After, apply a moisturizer especially for night. Also make sure the moisturizer is not only for night but also for dry skin. (so only use it on your nose).

If it does not clear up within a couple of weeks or so, then it could also be white heads. If you think so then go to a Dermatologist and they will check it out and give you special medication for it or tell you about a place where you can get a facial.

You really need to read "Banish My Bumps" by Angela Steinberg (also available in electronic format here: http://www.banishbumps.com ). It's about how to permanently cure your Keratosis Pilaris naturally. I was able to clear my skin in only 7 days after reading this.

Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.
