Hello Jim,
Welcome to healthcaremagic. I understood your concern.
You said there is discoloration on your nose and cheeks . And in sunlight it becomes more white. So, is this discoloration actually white or black/brown which you just mentioned in your ist line??
Reddening of nose on sunexposure may be due to photosensitivity for which we usually prescribe sunscreen with SPF 30 to be applied in morning and afternoon.
You said as such also your nose remains red. That can be due to many reasons for which I need to see it actually.
I will advice you to answer my quetion and kindly attach a pic of your face with focus on nose so that i can see and advice you to the best.
Stay healthy
Thanx
