Dark mini-dots next to my nose

[One on One]

I have always had these tiny dark dot-like things on each side of my nose. It's like in the area where facial hair doesn't grow. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? What are they?

They could be blackheads.

 

[gav]

yeah, blackheads

i'm always trying to squeeze the ones around my lips, my nose and on my nose out, but there are just too damn many. the ones on the slanted sides of your nose are bastards to get to

get cleansing strips....some of those that you put water on and then put it on your nose then after it dries you pull it off and all the **** comes off

Have you tried neutrogena's 'new' Blackhead Removal creme? It's got little bead like things, feels almost like sand mixed in. You rub it between your palms while you're in the shower/at the sink and rub it into your face. Basically, it exfoliates the dead skin. From there you can use whatever products you need to get rid of the blackheads - and make sure that they stay away. In my opinion, Oxy pads and the like are crap. I've had SERIOUS acne my entire life, until I started using doctor-prescribed medicine - check out Retin-A, Tazorac, Accutane... the list goes on. They work.

Are you guys sure they are blackheads? These are more like miniature indentations in my face. Do blackheads do that or do they stick out from your face? I almost think these are just very large pores I have or something.

They're black heads. When your pores fill up w/crap they get bigger. Try squeezing a small patch and watch what happens
