I also had a rash on my nose I used a cream called dipro base that I had from my

Dr to help with the rash and after surgery my skin started peeling off and the

cream helped.

You're welcome. As far as what's next? Lord, I hope nothing for either

of us!

If you think it is the same type of little pimply rash that I had, try

putting some astringent on it, or an anti-acne cream or lotion. I used

the Neutrogena clear-pore stuff, and for me that worked great. I think

any type of astringent would work though, maybe even those Clearasil

pads would work.

I don't think you'll end up with a pimple face! My rash stayed right

around the nose, and just a little into the cheek area. I started

using the astringent right away, and it didn't get too out of hand.

Just in case it is 'true' pimples though, don't squeeze or pick even

if it's tempting to do so. I didn't and that helped keep it from

spreading further I think. Of course, my face is still sensitive from

the surgery - so even if I'd wanted to pick at it, that wasn't even an

option - LOL.

I'm sure you don't look like a swollen red nosed reindeer either. I've

known a couple people with cea (not sure if I spelled that right),

and that really can give a person a redish nose. If your nose is red

now but wasn't before surgery, I'd chalk it up to another skin

reaction from the surgery - it will probably clear up soon.
