I have had this on going red nose problem for about 3 years now I have only gone to a regular doctor and they said it was acne.. I have tried all different type of skin care products and it just won’t go away. Some days is worse then others redness hasn’t spread around face specifically on nose just some days is worse then others.

Answer: Redness on nose that won’t go away? Thanks for your question and the photo. Make an appointment with a board certified dermatologist and see what is actually going on. Acne just there may be a little unusual, not impossible but it may be something else. Does it get better or worse with anything? What happens when you have a glass of wine, spicy foods, or eat chocolate? All of this is important in determining what is going on. Also, if you touch down on it, does it blanch or go away and then come back? That is another important thing. Then, with the derm, one can determine the cause and then the proper treatment – medical or laser. Find the right derm and they should be able to take care of this for you.

Answer: A second opinion If your general doctor hasn't found a diagnosis or effective treatment then you should consult a dermatologist.If a variant of rosacea there are lot of suppressive treatments. Sometimes low dose oral doxycycline ( if OK with birth control) or IPL can help.
