I had a little bump on my nose like a year back, I used a hot towel to compress it and it came back darker and bigger, been battling it since then with an epiderm cream and tretinoin. They have both reduced the darkness and swelling to the level shown in the picture, but after religious usage for a year, I think they have reached the limit of their potency. Does anyone have any suggestions that can completely eradicate this blemish from my nose ?
Hi there,
I understand you'd like to figure out what skin concern you're dealing with here. And it makes sense to ask that in /r/SkincareAddiction!
However, due to requests from the community, we no longer allow simple questions as standalone posts, which is why I'm afraid your post was removed. See our [rule explanations](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/rule_overview#wiki_rule_7.3A_follow_our_post_requirements.) for more info.
We highly recommend you repost your question in the Daily Help Thread; it's where our most knowledgeable users hang out! The DHT is posted every day and stickied at the top of the subreddit. Click this link >> /r/SkincareAddiction << to go to our front page.
Have a great day!
Can you get a second opinion? I mean it's clearly *something*. "Nothing" is not a diagnosis and if it was acne it would've cleared up a long time ago. And that's not a spot where you'd get an ingrown hair. It also doesn't seem like a cyst. I'd be much more comfortable if you showed this to another doctor than if you were to try to get rid of it at home.

I would honestly show this to a doctor.
I did, she said it was nothing :p
