Bacteria, dirt, grime and dead skin cells on the face and the nose especially would be blocking the route of oily glands or sebaceous glands. When the sebum finds no way out, they accumulate and cause the pimples to grow- first blind and then outward.

3. Improper Diets

Improper diet and lack of water intake too would be cause of toxin accumulation in the body and when flushing out of toxins don’t happen on a regular basis, chances are the body would show signs and symptoms- pimples on the nose in this case.

4. Cosmetics

One also can get pimples on the nose through chemically infused cosmetics and high doses of medication. The chemicals react with the hormones and the skin tissues and play havoc.

Here were some of the causes why experts opine that pimples on the nose can be formed. Have they rung a bell yet? Well, let’s move forward and read what the symptoms of pimples on the nose would be like!

Symptoms

A pimple is formed when the hair follicles beneath the skin are blocked.

The debris of skin mixes with the oils inside the pores and this accumulates to clog the follicles. Thus, all hell breaks loose – pimples happen. Some of the symptoms for the same would be.

1. Itch on the nose
2. Dense white pus formulation
3.  Inflammation and cyst appearance
4. Bumps on the nose
5. Infected nose area, and
6. Thickening and heating up of the area of skin infected to name a few

Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Pimple On Nose

4. Dab the ice pack on the area affected as you would when you do cold compress treatments.
5. Hold on to the area for a couple of seconds and remove after that.
6.  Repeat five times at least throughout the day.

6. Do this once a day, thrice a week for matured and pus filled pimples.

4. Makeup should be used only when need be, not just because you want to use it
5. When using fragrances, ensure to spray a foot away from the face or else the chemicals would enter the skin pores and irritate it
