Odd pores on my nose

by jrode, May 20, 2009 01:39AM
I am a 22 year old male and have a strange issue with my pores on my nose. There are what I believe to be blackheads that constantly stick out of my nose. The best way I can describe it is that my nose constantly looks like a Biore strip after it has been used. I can literally pull these things out of my nose with a tweezers. They're a clear, white-ish color and you can easily see them. I wash my face twice daily with a cleanser and I use Benozyl Peroxide on my face for treatment of mild acne. These things are just very annoying and the only time my nose looks normal is after I used a Biore strip. I don't like using those though because I think they've started to cause veins on the side of my nostrils to show. I hope my description of this is clear enough.

Is there any solution for this?

Hi,

How are you? The best you can do is to keep the pores debris-free with thorough cleansing, exfoliation and professional facials. However, If it persists, you may have to see your dermatologist for proper management.  Prescription medications such as topical Retin-A or Azelic acid may be indicated.  I hope this helps. Take care and do keep us posted.
