    Hi, all of the sudden I am getting consistent whitehead like pimples on my nose surrounded by redness. If they are popped or extracted they bleed afterwards at times. Is this whiteheads, oil related, rosacea ? I have not changed anything that would stand out as a cause. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Not to be nosy, but have you consulted a physician?

    When I was there for my annual checkup at dermatologist ( melanoma runs in family so I go twice a year ) I told her about it ,because there was no breakout at that time of coarse. She gave me epiduo to apply but its not helping.

    I googled it, I see they have a few different products, which are you suggesting.

    I have been using the neutrogena gently daily cleanser

    I am a bit out of the loop but I recall when my carbuncular teenagers were around they used Phisoderm. The type I know not.

    That may be your problem. How oily is your skin? If it's very oily and you over clean it that can cause it to become even more oily and cause breakouts. If it's dry and you strip it you can irritate and cause breakouts. Sometimes it's hard to find the right balance. For me that's a light scrub with a body soap. Nothing fancy. It can take a week or three to see results from a change. The doc will usually throw a prescription at you but sometimes a good scrubbing is all you need.

    I have been told I have dry skin not oily.

    A bump after a nearly 3-year hiatus? :signs002:
    Hopefully you've found something or have consulted another dermatologist since May of 2014?

    I am not a doctor, but have experienced this as a reaction to stainless steel, or a contact dermatitis

    I googled your symptoms. You are going to die.

    So sad. You seemed like a nice person. The list of possible causes started with leprosy and went downhill from there.
