If you have got whiteheads on nose , you will probably already know that they are a type of acne that can often  appear on the facial skin, especially in the T zone area.

They occur due to the over production of sebum or oil in your body.

This leads to the blockage of pores on skin with a build up of bacteria, dead skin cells and sebum in these pores.

This is the cause of the formation of white spots on the surface of skin. They can appear on the skin of both girls and boys as hormonal problems may be one of the major causes of excessive production of oil or sebum – although this may also occur due to some illness, intake of some medicines, menstruation and stress.

If you have whiteheads on nose, take care of the following:

• Do not prick or ‘pop’ them, unless you know how to use the lancet extractor tool and you are scrupulous about hygiene.
• Avoid harsh treatments with abrasive exfoliants or strong chemical agents.
• Sleeping with makeup must be strictly avoided.
• Avoid fatty and refined foods where possible and increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.

The skin on the nose is highly sensitive and it is not easy to treat blemishes on this area. The treatment is a time-consuming process so prevention is the better way.

You can prevent whiteheads on nose by applying a regular daily skincare routine.

Use non-comedogenic products that will not block your pores, do not mix skin treatment products with different acne medications such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide as this may cause irritation, flaking and peeling. 

Your diet has greater role in the prevention of this type of acne blemish and they can be treated effectively by adopting proper hygiene and a balanced diet.

Home remedies for whiteheads are the best way of treating them without causing any scar or infection. You should consume lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Water is essential for flushing out toxic substances from body. So drinking plenty of water is highly beneficial. Hormone balance can be regained by using some dietary supplements.
