I'm not sure what this is, like a hole in my skin left by spot

by freddonkey, Oct 22, 2008 12:15PM
My face is pretty much clear except for this which makes it really stand out, it is this circular bright red spot on my nose a bit bigger than a pen tip. I think it may be from a spot I never noticed, since my skin was clear I was really studying it in the mirror at the time I first got it but one day over a year ago I noticed it and it hasn't gone away since. When I look at it closely it is like a hole in my skin, the hole being where a spot would have been, which doesn't heal. Somedays it has this white bit in the middle. Yesterday blood started coming from it, which is only the second time in the year and a bit I have had it it has done that. Could someone please help? TA

Get professional medical help. Or upload as a picture so we can help you. Maybe it's just a red mark left after acne or maybe some type of mole. Discuss with your doctor.

You do need a doctor to look at this to obtain an accurate diagnosis.
Most acne scars are superficial and will fade within a year. If it is an acne scar which has lasted longer than a year, there are treatments to help. I recommend Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Corrector which fades marks acne leaves behind. For the puncture mark seek evaluation and advice from a laser skin clinic or plastic surgeon to see if intervention is necessary. I had two such post-acne holes and eventually my skin healed itself and they closed over.
Eloise.
