I'm also suffering from this problem and I doubt this is some sort of bacterial infection or something similar to blackheads. I don't think this is a form of hyperpigmentation.

This thread also discusses about this issue.

Hello,
Horizontal line on the nose can be due to hyperpigmentation of the skin due to excess deposition of melanin  or due to atopic allergies which causes the individuals to push up the nose. Treatment involves hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. Please discuss these options with your dermatologist before using them.
