Dermatology - Blackheads and constant spots


Expert: Uribe - 6/17/2009

Question
Hello, i have many blackheads around my nose area and spots around my chin area and cheeks and nose as well.
Ive had it for about 4 years now i am 18 and already getting scaring from them. I can squeeze any area on my nose and get puss coming out.
I have, regretfully, squeezed my nose too much in my younger years and i have slight redness around the sides of my lower nose (tiny little red blood vessels).
I have tried over the counter stuff such as blackhead remover pads and clear skin pads, but with no success. My skin does feel oily, ive tried washing my face with faccewash in the shower but not much success. Ive been told its not a good idea to use shower gell.
What could help with the problem? What could the problem be?
Thank you
