Blackheads and whiteheads on the nose are very common and can be controlled with a simple, consistent routine; wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser, avoid scrubbing or squeezing the pores, and use products containing Salicylic Acid to help unclog pores and reduce oil buildup, along with a retinoid-based gel at night to prevent new comedones from forming, while using a light, oil-free moisturizer and sunscreen during the day. Occasional use of clay masks can help absorb excess oil, and with regular use over a few weeks, you should see improvement, but if the problem persists, a dermatologist can provide treatments like chemical peels or professional extraction.

Small white, dot-like pimples on the face are often whiteheads (closed comedones) or sometimes milia, both caused by clogged pores, and they can be treated with a simple routine; wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser, avoid scrubbing or squeezing, and use products containing Salicylic Acid to help clear pores, along with a mild retinoid gel at night to prevent new lesions from forming, while using a light, oil-free moisturizer and sunscreen during the day. These usually improve gradually over a few weeks, but if they persist or increase, a dermatologist can confirm the exact type and offer treatments like gentle extraction or stronger prescription creams.
