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?

Get a tan maybe ?

quit drinking?? ...er as much?

Stop doing so much blow?

leaches

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.

Run away to the Amish, while you still can.

X2!!

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.

Thanks for all the nice comments

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!

Makeup, no seriously.

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.

You have no clue what I look like.

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!

If I looked like that CUDA, you might think twice about disagreeing with me….GGGRRRR!

I know…I know…I should have just said…You Rang?

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.

am I getting close???
