i am currently an 18 year old male.
I remember asking my sister for one of those face wipes that cleans the oil off your face and she freaked out and said "that's for girls! no!"
it's been like this for years.
I don't use lotion and i don't have an acne problem.
So i'm giong to share something that will probably seem really nasty to you guys:
SOMETIMES when a bump/small pimple appears on my nose.
I try to pop it but a solid white thing usually comes out and it leaves a small hole on my nose.

that might not make any sense but, i don't think it's normal.
anyways, it usually heals.
Sorry if that's too digusting and too much info for you.
