pimples on nose sides

Arya

I am struggling with these annoying pimples on the sides of my nose, and it’s driving me nuts! Like, I never had this problem before. A couple weeks ago, I noticed some small, red bumps appearing, and ever since then, they just keep showing up. I wash my face daily and use a gentle cleanser. I thought my skincare routine was solid, but these pimples on nose sides are really persistent! I even tried a couple different over-the-counter treatments, and nothing seems to work. The weird thing is, they don't hurt much, but they do get super oily and they kinda itch sometimes. I’m starting to feel like I’m stuck in some endless cycle of trying to get rid of these pesky things. Like, do I need to change my entire skincare routine, or is there something specific that’s triggering these pimples on nose sides? Should I see a dermatologist, or do you think it might just clear up on its own? I also noticed that when I eat greasy foods, they seem to flare up more. Ugh. Super frustrating! Any advice or tips would really help.

Sounds like you’re dealing with quite a bothersome situation. The symptoms you’re describing – red, small bumps on the sides of the nose that are oily and sometimes itchy – do sound characteristic of acne, though there could be other possibilities. Acne in this area can be common due to the presence of many sebaceous (oil) glands. It’s good that you’re using a gentle cleanser, but given how persistent these pimples are, you might want to step up your routine a bit. You’ve mentioned trying some over-the-counter treatments, but it may be worth ensuring you’re using products containing active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids, which are known to be effective against acne. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas, and be consistent – these treatments often take time to show results. Considering your symptoms flare up with greasy foods, you might want to reduce your intake temporarily to see if it has an impact – sometimes diet can influence skin conditions indirectly. It’s also worth considering lifestyle factors like stress, which can trigger or worsen acne. You don’t necessarily need to change your entire skincare routine drastically, but introducing non-comedogenic moisturizers or spot treatments can help. If your symptoms persist despite these measures or worsen, it may be wise to consult with a dermatologist. They can assess whether there’s an underlying issue or if prescription-strength treatments could be beneficial. Sometimes, addressing skin issues early with professional guidance can prevent potential scarring or further outbreaks.
