Slightly Red Nose?

Post by Dakatsu »

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? :P :? :x :idea:

it depends on what the actual cause of the redness is, but you could try using a bit of aloe vera gel, especially at night

if it doesnt help, you could ask your doctor or refer to a dermatologist

I hear President Obama is giving away free healthcare, why not see a doc on my dime.
I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on disk somewhere.

Sounds like you have skin like mine. Redness can be a sign of sun damage. A really good sunblock is recommended.

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.

It goes away when I press on it for a second, and it's smooth in color, not blotchy.

I also do have allergies :(

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!

That's so 1985.

(I don't recommend spandex)

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)

If you have a good personality, having something weird on your face gives you character. Spidey has lots of character.

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.
