Red mark on nose

6 replies

Rosebud1302 · 14/06/2022 22:48

Hi all,

I have this red dot on the tip of my nose that just will not go away. I have had it zapped professionally as like a broken blood vessel type thing. Fixes it for a week or two then it comes back. It's not a spot and it's not raised. Literally like a small red dot but I am so insanely self conscious about it :(. To be honest I have not been blessed with good skin and it is all fairly blotchy and red. I think I have rosacea (and the professional agreed). I can live with the overall skin being a bit rubbish but this red dot is so hard to cover with makeup and I'm just so aware of it and conscious.

Has anyone had/have similar and can advise on what can maybe help?! And also can anyone recommend any general products for rosacea and foundation that covers the redness well?

Thank you :)

I have one too but I have health anxiety and as long as it not sinister then I am ok with how it looks. Most people won’t notice it .

Can’t help with the red spot other than to say it’s probably not noticeable to anyone else so try not to worry about it too much.
For the rosacea - my friend swears by Rosalique, I’m not affiliated with the product in any way & have never used it myself but she suffers with rosacea & redness & she says that stuff covers it like a dream.

Are you sure it is not a basal cell carcinoma? Google some images .
When you say you had it professionally zapped, what do you mean? A dermatologist or a high street laser type shop?

@Thiskidcanbounce thank you for the recommendation I will take a look!

@MatchaTea no doesn't look like that. It's not raised at all. It's literally like a small red mark. Like a popped blood vessel type thing. I went to a professional dermatologist
