Hi doctor,
I have suffered from acne since I was in high school and have used over-the-counter creams such as Benzoyl peroxide. The sides of my nose produce a clear yellow substance that crusts over my pores. When I clean the area and the crust is removed, it then produces the liquid again. I have had this for nine months and whenever it clears, it comes back within a week.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It could possibly be an infection of the sebaceous gland. Please provide a picture of your problem.

Hi doctor,
I have attached a photo. Hopefully, that is good enough.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You seem to have a tendency of seborrheic dermatitis and acne (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is nothing to worry.
Avoid Benzoyl peroxide as it can cause irritation. I suggest you Clindamycin gel and a mild moisturizer twice a day.
Avoid removing the crusts manually. Moisten them with moisturizer to shed by themselves.
Treat dandruff if you have, with a Ketoconazole shampoo. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take treatment with consent.
