pimple beside nose - #21525

Aditi

I am dealing with a really annoying pimple beside my nose that just won’t go away. It started like a small bump but now it’s red and inflamed and I can feel it all the time! I’ve been trying to cover it up with makeup, but sometimes it just makes it worse and I feel like I am drawing more attention to it, ugh. Like just yesterday, I thought it was finally starting to shrink, but now it's a lot bigger and honestly super painful if I touch it. I’ve read that pimples beside the nose can be a sign of hormonal issues or even stress, which I totally get since my life’s been a bit of a rollercoaster lately! I also wonder if it could be related to using a new face wash, but I kinda need to cleanse my face more regularly since I’ve been breaking out. Do you think this pimple beside my nose will clear up soon or should I see a dermatologist? Is it worth trying some topical treatments or should I just let it run its course? Do any of you have tips for managing these pesky pimples beside the nose before they drive me insane? Would really appreciate any advice!

Doctors' responses

The pimple beside your nose sounds like it might be an inflamed acne lesion, possibly due to mixed factors including hormones, stress, or potential reaction to new skincare products. Hormonal shifts, stress, and changes to skincare routines can indeed play a significant role in causing or exacerbating pimples, particularly in areas with more sebaceous glands like the nose. Your use of a new face wash could be a contributing factor if it’s irritating your skin or not compatible with your skin type. Take a closer look at the ingredient list; avoid products with harsh detergents or ingredients that could clog your pores. For now, try using a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser and moisturiser to keep your skin clean and hydrated. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid creams can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. These are available in over-the-counter formulas, but apply them sparingly to avoid further irritation. Resist touching or picking at the pimple; this can worsen inflammation and increase the risk of scarring or secondary infections. Applying a warm compress a few times a day may provide some relief by reducing swelling and encouraging the pimple to drain naturally. If the pimple persists, becomes significantly more painful, or if you notice it spreading to other areas, consult a dermatologist. They may need to rule out other conditions or provide treatments like topical retinoids, antibiotics, or in severe cases, injections to resolve deeper cystic acne. Stay consistent with topical treatments for at least a few weeks, as improvements can take time, but don’t hesitate to seek professional advice if you’re concerned about persistent or severely painful lesions. Meanwhile, try minimizing stress through activities you find calming, ensure you’re getting adequate sleep, and maintain a balanced diet, as these can indirectly support healthier skin.
