Slightly Red Nose?
Slightly Red Nose?
So, since this place is practically my self-help forum, random question: what can I do to reduce redness in the skin on my nose? This annoys the piss out of me, especially since I have really pale skin, so it glows like a red stop light on the slightest tinge of red. I doubt I have rosaeca, and I don't have any acne on my nose (other than blackheads), so anyone know why or how to fix?

Is it all one even color or in patches or spots? Does the red disappear for a second when you press on the skin surface? If it does, it's not some type of sun burn, but just a lot small blood vessels in the skin. Excema looks blotchy while Rosacea tends to have pimples (but not always) associated with it. President Clinton has a red nose which he attributes to Rosacea.
It could be hereditary and you're stuck with it or just allergies too.

Take off the rubber ball and throw it away.
Ok, unfortunately, I don't even play a doctor on TV, BUT, my advice would be to try a TINY bit of lotion, just in case the problem is chapping.
Taking medical advice from me is like taking candy from a stranger. Don't do it! Listen to people who know something!

Actually.. the sunscreen idea is a good idea. Give it a try for about a week and see if it works. (a week will give the skin time to heal)

Zyrtec for you! I'm having the same problem. My nose is stuffing up now with spring! It gets red if I get a real good dose of pollen and it starts itching.Dakatsu wrote:I'm pretty sure it's allergies; my nose wasn't red when I got home, but it turned red after I played with two cats... mreh, damn you fluffy kitties!
