[Acne] Recurring small pimples on and below nasal septum
For the last month I’ve been getting new pimples on the same area every day. I wake up with new ones and the old ones will be almost gone. Sometimes they have small white heads but there is no hard plug if popped, just pus.
I’m treating it with oral antibiotics for nasal vestibulitis as well as applying benzoyl peroxide twice a day but nothing seems to work. I have no acne anywhere else on my face and this has never been a problem area for me.
I’m currently on norethindrone and using 0.05% tretinoin but neither of these are new to me.
Has anyone ever experienced this? TIA!
