Why not a pimple?: It sounds like a skin infection. Whether or not its a "pimple" treat it the same. Wash with soap, hot compresses and don't pick at it. If its not better in a day or so consider seeing your doctor.

Question 5

red bump inside nose right at the nostril opening also small pimple on the outside of nose just on one side what is this? should i pick at it or leave it alone.. earlier the outside of my nose was red and tingling now its not. it also itches

Accepted Answer

Ideas: This is likely a oil gland infection at the base of a hair root, (folliculitis).Applying moist heat will sometimes improve circulation enough that it will spontaneously drain &amp; heal. If you pick it the infection can spread to surrounding tissues &amp; create a noticeable scar or need more aggressive treatment. Applying antibiotic ointment just inside the nasal outlet can also help.

Question 6

how to get rid of small tiny pimples on my nose only, i have oily skin?

Accepted Answer

Oil pores: Those are the openings of oil glands that accumulate oil to form pimple.  They are particularly plentiful on the nose. Best treatment is warm compresses and an astringent or alcohol cleanser. Using a drying soap may also help. But it could go too far and cause burning or dryness of the surrounding skin.

Question 7

small red dot on my nose, not a pimple, been there for 5 months. how do i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Skin doc's like dots: Dermatologists like to look at dots on the skin. For a small red dot on the nose, one can see a primary care doctor first, or go straight to a skin doctor. Reddish coloring usually means there is more blood flow to the spot. Dermatologists can use a laser to remove spots caused by tiny blood vessels (such as some birthmarks and "spider" hemagiomas), and can also talk about other treatments.
