The mark on your nose is likely a post-acne scar or closed comedone—not active acne but a leftover bump. Use a retinoid cream (like adapalene 0.1%) at night to slowly fade it and reduce pore size. For hair fall, start Biotin + Zinc supplements daily and use Scalpe+ Shampoo twice a week if dandruff is present; please consult a dermatologist if it persists.
Hello dear Please be aware I doubt it is dimple acne but folliculitis or boil You can take following medications for temporary relief Tablet Augmentin 625 mg twice a day for 5 days Tab metrogyl twice a day for 5 days Ointment fusidic acid topically thrice a day for 5 days In case of no improvement do consult with general surgeon for better clarification Regards
