Hey, i was wanting to know if you know why i have oily skin,flaky, and irritated skin, and the make up i put on looks good till about 4 hours later then when i put more on it looks terrible. Are they anything for this to help? Ive tried proactiv solution.. HELP!!! LOL
I am 32 it started about a year and a half ago I've been getting huge bumps (pimple like) on my face. They grow very big and when, and if they pop( a month or so), a really large amount of puss comes out of them. What is it and how can I stop it. please help DOC
Thanks for the reply... However, what about the whiteheads, its as if they exist under the skin? If I were to slightly pinch an area on my nose they will appear as if coming to the surface. Also, I have not removed any of the flaky skin, just the one whithead.
You may also have seborrheic dermatitis, a mild inflammation common around the nose. Try 1% hydrocortisone cream (OTC) on the "dead skin" for a few days, and let the dermatologist you see know whether it helped.

To add to my original question...
The skin area between my eyebrows and above my noes is also starting to peel. Should I get some sort of exfolicator (not sure on spelling) and use it on my entire face?
Please do not remove what you are calling dead skin from your nose. Also, please do not remove anything else from your nose, such as a whitehead. Removing things yourself causes only irritation and confusion. Dead skin does not clog pores. I suspect you have dry skin, not dead skin. While you wait to see the dermatologist, use a mild moisturizer like Vaseline Intensive Care. A visit to an esthetician for a facial may also be a good idea.
Best.
