Nasal bumps from acne, how do you treat them? by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle: These bumps on your nose can be reduced with laser techniques, co2 laser, dermabrasion, and dermaplaning. We have pictures on our webpages under rhinoplasty and acne scar surgery for you to review The bumps can be due to accumulation of sebum (oil products from your hair follicles) that accumulate in the hair follicle. Or it can be due to proliferation of these glands under your skin. Your situation appears similar to people who have rhinophyma. It could be something similar in pathology. The approaches above will help both conditions. For your acne you should be on a retinol product, maybe alpha / beta hydroxy lotion, and a glycolic product and or at home peel. We have also developed a new approach to acne scarring called the Acne Scar Vitalizer Treatment. It is our multilayered approach to acne scarring that reconstructs the scars from ground up.
