Folliculitis: Recurrent small white pimples in the nose are usually do to a staph infection of the hair follicle, which is where the hair grows before it rises above the skin. Sometimes it can be due to picking at the nose or squeezing a pimple. It will often go away on its own. Antibiotic ointment may speed resolution but repeated episodes require a culture of the nose by your physician. Do NOT squeeze it.
