I have red, raised dome shaped pimple marks in my nose. These are not itchy nor irritable. These are aftermath of a pimple that seem to stay in the nose. WHAT HOME OR MEDICINAL TREATMENTS I COULD APPLY? I HAVE NO MONEY FOR SURGERY. PLEASE HELP ME. Thank you.

Hello,
Actinic keratosis is small, rough spot occurring on skin that has been chronically exposed to the sun. It can be diagnosed by examination and biopsy skin. Fibrous papule of the nose presents as papules which may be solitary and around the nose. I suggest you to get a biopsy skin done from a dermatologist so as to confirm the diagnosis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Mr. Kaur,

Sir, I don't have a dermatologist. I don't know if I can afford to see a dermatologist. Dermatologist do require payments for just check ups right? What do you think I could do if this is a fibrous papule or actinic keratosis. Thanks.

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be fibrous papule of the nose, trichoepithioloma or actinic keratosis. Since it has been present for a long time without any change, so these possibilities need to be evaluated for which I suggest you to consult a dermatologist.
