Question 1

does steaming your face make acne bump on side of nose smaller?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: The best way to make an acne bump smaller is to treat it with something to reduce inflammation and help it heal.  Another option is to receive a facial with extractions. Steaming alone is not beneficial by itself. If you breakout regularly, you should probably see your physician or skin specialist for defined treatment regimen.

Question 2

have tiny skin colour bump on side of nose wont go away thought was white head used strip n made it bleed didnt go away what is this bump?

Accepted Answer

It could be nothing: That being said, it could be a basal cell carcinoma, although you are very young to have one.  The nose is a common place for one to appear.  You should see a dermatologist and have it removed/biopsied.  Removal at this stage is generally the cure if it is a carcinoma.   It is, however, at your age, most likely just a cyst of some kind.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Are you in treatment: For non allergic chronic rhinitis? Like intranasal corticosteroids, antihistamines, anticholinergics. Oral agents less effective. Nasal saline irrigation may help. Also in the differential diagnosis is deviated septum, nasal polyp, hypertrophic turbinate, and other systemic conditions. Are you using afrin daily? May cause chronic rhinitis too. Your bump may be cause by enlarged turbinates. See ent.

Question 7

ive always had a small bump on sides of upper nose but lately one side looks bigger. could constantly taking deep breaths(due to back issue) & excessive yawning daily cause that or would those repetitive actions not change bone or cartilage in nose?
