A few months ago, I mentioned about a diamond-shaped red mark that formed under the tip of my nose. It appeared back in 2000 when I was in the 9th grade. Since then I have applied everything from Retin-A Micro, L-Glutathione, Papaya/Kojic Acid, Tyrostat (A more powerful version of Alpha Arbutin). All these did amazing things for my face but no result on the red mark on my nose. I also used tools such as dermaroller, clarisonic brush, and baby quasar to remove it.
With that said, you can tell its really bothering me. And yes I do use a foundation but if I get a cold or go swimming it comes right off. Aside from that, wearing foundation makes me feel like I'm lying about my natural appearance.
I read about the different types of skin resurfacing lasers. Aside from many complaining about the results being temporary. And others who went for lasers outside of cool touch said it made their scar even more red.
My dermatologist seen it and said it needed plastic surgery. But once again thats expensive and I really don't want any surgeon cutting my nose.
I seen this whitening chemical called mono completely depigs the skin color and I was tempted to just use it on that red marking but I'm not sure if that would be a wise decision. especially being thats what a certain 80s pop star has been using on his skin.
right now I'm stumped. if anyone has any other ideas please let me know. |

I don't believe that a skin whitening product will fix your red mark as it does not sound like it is a pigment issue which all whitening products try to fix.
To me it sounds a bit like a recurring yeast/fungal infection which can be triggered by all sorts of things. I would suggest going to a chemist and getting a cream that contains ketoconazole. One that I have used in the past was called Nizoral.
If in doubt get a referral to a skin specialist. |
