Brief Answer:
Sebum exudate looks like white fat. Please follow these suggestions.

Detailed Answer:
Hi!

I would like to inform you that the nose of a person has skin elements that contain glands to maintain the moisture of the skin around it. These glands secrete an oily substance, which is called as sebum. When these secretions accumalate, the end result is a whitish substance, that you call "white fat".

So,

1. Wash your face and dry it with paper napkins regularly to remove the oil layer.
2. Try to minimize foods that are oily in nature.
3. I would suggest that you apply clindamycin cream for some time to the affected area to remove any superimposed infections.
4. Try to avoid exposure to direct sunlight and humidity and high environmental \
temperatures.
5. Different people secrete sebum at different levels. So, other persons may not be affected as such.

Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar

Brief Answer:
Take propranolol for the sweating.

Detailed Answer:
Hi!

I apologize for the delay.

I suggest you take propranolol low dose for the excessive sweating which is also due to overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Thanks.
