Nose Acne Options

[OkamaPower]

well ive searched high and low and couldnt find anything helpful. I have acne on my nose. its horrible, like a raspberry but nothing helps. ive been using olay foaming face wash for 6 months every single day and 1/2 my acne i had is all gone but its doing completely nothing on my nose. every 2 hours i check my face and my nose has dots of oil all over it. how can it be so oily after such a short period of time? this is really affecting me and my social life... im super crazy and im the coolest stand out guy and im noticed.... and when im noticed... im really noticed.... so i need some help or anything you can give me. i never touch my face every single day, but if im itchy on my face which is rarely, i a cloth and itch my face. its my skin.... even sleeping... i know they are attacking me... a dermatologist is my last and final resort. i have black heads deep in my nose skin and i have acne sprouting even when i wash every 6 hours and rinse every 3 hours every but not when i sleep.

I'd recommend washing your face with a gentle cleanser just twice a day; once in the morning when you wake up, and once in the night before you go to sleep. After you cleanse, I recommend using Benzoyl Peroxide products like other people have recommended- a good choice isNeutrogena's On-The-Spot Acne Treatment; it's cheap, under $10, and effective. Liberally apply to problem areas, and moisturize after 5 minutes of letting it absorb into the skin. Do this every time you clean your face. It totally cleared my acne away.

Oh, and for moisturizers- use anything gentle. You can buy one from Neutrogena too, so it won't clash with the acne treatment cream.


If you're having problems with blackheads on your nose instead of red pimples, I recommend using a nose strip product. Biore Pore Cleaning strips are good, and they have them specially formulated for men too.
