Hi doctor,
I have a line across my nose going horizontally. This is because I used to push my nose up always. Can u suggest some natural remedy to get rid of it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. You seem to have hypermelanosis. It is mostly seen in chronic running nose due to rhinitis. It occurs due to pushing the nose upper side. I would like to suggest you the following treatment. You may applyTretinoin gel like Retop A gel (0.012%) on the line. Kojic acid and vitamin C containing cream may be applied for some time. Take Multivitamin tablets. Stop yourself from pushing the nose.Please consult a dermatologist before start taking these medications.
