Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The XXXXXXX on your nose is likely to be a pigmentation area.
Usually such marks do not need any treatment but for cosmetic purposes they can be lightened by skin bleaching products or can be removed. Speak to your Dermatologist.
Your Doctor shall have you examined physically and order a Biopsy if he/she has a doubt to rule out any serious pathology.
Once confirmed your Doctor may suggest treatment options which include,
1.) Medications
2.) LASER therapy
3.) Dermabrasion
4.) Chemical Peel.
In addition to the treatment, avoid exposure to sun to the maximum, use a sunscreen lotion when you move out in sun and use a Umbrella or a cap. Avoid sun exposure between 10am to 4pm.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
