Milia on the nose can indeed be persistent and finding tretinoin slow is not uncommon. Milia are tiny cysts that develop when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin’s surface. They often occur around the nose and eyes, and oily skin can contribute by causing more buildup. While tretinoin is an effective treatment, it’s understandable you’re looking for a more expedient solution. Consider incorporating gentle exfoliation with a mild, non-comedogenic exfoliating cleanser two to three times a week to help prevent clogged pores and promote the natural shedding of dead skin cells. Additionally, using a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer can help manage oil production without clogging pores further. As for your diet, ensuring you’re well-hydrated is important – drinking plenty of water daily can benefit your skin’s health and appearance. Foods rich in antioxidants like fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in vitamins A, C, and E, can support skin health. Reducing intake of high-glycemic foods like sugary snacks and white bread may also help, as these can increase oil production. Always remember to apply sunscreen daily, as sun damage can worsen milia. If you’re finding no improvement despite these efforts, consider revisiting your healthcare provider. They might explore other topical or procedural treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion, which might be more immediate in results. It’s crucial that any new treatment or dietary changes be considered in the context of your overall health, considering any other conditions you might have. Be cautious with home extractions or DIY treatments, as improper methods could lead to skin damage or infection.
