Redness Each Side of My Nose Posted: 02-17-04 00:39am
Hi,
since I was about 13, I developed a
redness at the sides of my nose. I used
to suffer from acne alot (i'm now 19), but
it has died down now.
I suffered with spots on my nose and it
inflamed and swollen my nose. It happened
quite a lot, but ever since t happened the
first time i've had these red patches on
each side of my nose. I've never really
suffered from the normal type of acne, but
it has always been around my chin and
nose. I have been to the doctors numerous
times and have tried nearly every type of
acne treatment there is. I've started
using proactive and have found that it
really works great. However the redness
is just not budging.
My nose appears to be always red at the
sides. Its not itchy, sore, tight,
burning or anytihng. It just feels like
normal skin but its red!! I cant
understand why its not the same color as
my normal skin! I thought it might be a
kind of rosecea.... But the symtoms just
arn't there. Its not a rash, its just
discolored. Its been like this ever since
I can remember getting spots (which is
damn long ago!)...... And its really
starting to get to me! I'm always aware
of it.
Does anyone have any idea of what it can
be? My only rational explanation is that
its just been discolored by the severe
swelling of acne on my nose when I was
younger.... And it just burst
blood-vessels or something and its now
stayed like that.
If anyone has any idea of what it is, or
anyone who has something similar please
reply.
