Can the chronic red spots on my nose be a broken vessel?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your query and concern and examined your picture (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). With your descriptions and given picture, it seems you have freckles or nevus.

1. Freckles or ephelis are common in individuals who sunburn easily and do not tan, whereas it is uncommon among people who have dark skin.

2. I suggest 30 % Trichloroacetic acid cautery (TCA) or topical treatment with Depiwhite cream. Applied topically during the night daily for 16 weeks.

3. Follow certain sun protection measures like avoiding mid-day sun, especially 10 AM to 4 PM. Seek shade whenever possible. Wear broad-rimmed hats. Apply Suncros soft gel sunscreen with SPF 50+ daily in the morning all over the face, which can be repeated every 4 hours.
