What Causes Small Black Spots On The Side Of The Nose?
Hi, there are three small black spots on the side of my nose. I m a preteen so I was thinking it might have been blackheads but I don t think that s the case. I used a blackhead strip, and I have been every three days (that s what it says on the box) but they won t go away. I know I shouldn t have but I picked at them, and it started bleeding, not a lot, just a little tiny bit. Could you shed some light on the situation?
