Small White Stuff On Nose, Cheeks. Reoccurs After Squeezing. Pores Getting Bigger. Any Permanent Cure?
Hello Doctor,
I have small white stuff all over under my face & nose skin. Mostly it is on the nose and cheeks area near the nose. I try squeezing it out, some white stuff is like a hard white granule, some is semi-solid kind.It just seems to be never ending. It reoccurs every other day even after I have squeezed it out. Also, now I realize that my pores are getting bigger on the nose & cheeks ( I feel it is due to squeezing out that white stuff).
Please help me on this. I am very disappointed with this thing. Is there any permanent cure for this? I just dont want this white stuff to be produced in my skin. Please help on this. Thanks!

Hi,
You seem to be having acne and overactive sebaceous glands.
The things will keep on recurring more and more if you squeeze them so do not squeeze, wash your two times a day and use a salicylic acid face wash. Use a good quality astringent once or twice daily.
A benzoyl peroxide ointment thrice daily decreases them after about 2-3 months of use but it may cause some skin peeling which is a temporary phenomenon.
Get you serum cholesterol and lipids checked as this may be due to increased lipids in blood. Do not eat egg yolk, oil or fats, plain sugar and no cheese for atleast three months. Eat lots of fresh fruits, juices and vegetables and good sleep.
This will improve the condition in a few months.
Hope this was helpful, thanks for the query.
