Red around nostrils

Former Member

Hi all, a skincare question. I sometimes have a slightly reddish colour around my nostrils, its nothing major, its sort of like when you've got cold. I've got quite clear skin, so it somtimes stands out (maybe its me being paranoid) anyone else get it, and what can you do to reduce it. (btw i'm a bloke, so no makeup :thumb: )

Hayfever?

Try some antihistamines (woah thats a hard word to spell, well you know what I mean anyway).


Sometimes my nose goes red in the cold. (stupid fact of the day )

If its reddish and a bit dry like when you've got a cold then a soothing moisturiser may help.

Sudocrem works well for me, it does say for nappy rash on the outside, but its good for lots of stuff.

Also if it doesn't work its cheap. Be warned though, its quite thick so when you first put it on, use a teeney amount.

Hmmmm ... well, if you had been a woman, I would have suggested that it may have been the result of your partner doing the 'angry dragon' routine on you ... :chin:
