Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Nose w/dust-like: Sounds like you are experiencing whiteheads, trapped in pores around your nose. The white particles are actually sebum and exfoliated skin cells. Best way to resolve it is a combination of a facial with steam and extractions as well as a skin care regimen that helps exfoliation.
