Ooh yes I had one of those once, it was huge. I squeezed the bugger with tweezers in the end, it hurt like billy-o but it was one of the most satisfying experiences in my life.

That makes my eyes water just thinking about it! That's one location where the only quick end to the agony is to pop it...if you can get at it!

It has gotten a lot smaller and less sore since yesterday so I guess I'll just let it run it's course. Really annoying, though.

That's not a zit. It's your second nose coming in. The first will drop off in a week or two and the new one will take over. Didn't your mama never 'splain this to you?

yah, it is really painful, matt. If I were a gypsy witch and could curse those who crossed me, this would be one of the top afflictions in my arsenal.
oh, no, Zoob! You think it's my "wisdom nose"?! Should I put the old nose under my pillow when it falls off?

I am a closet compulsive zit popper. If it's near enough to the front, you can turn your nostril inside out enough to get at it.
I have shared too much.

I get these quite often which is weird and quite lucky because I never get spots anywhere visible just on my thighs inside my nose. Think yourself lucky it could be on the end of your nose and glowing bright red.

The only time I get a zit inside the nose is when I'm coming down with a cold. It's almost a certain sign that a head cold is on the way.

Leave him alone, Dave. As Kurdt mentioned, he has a rare disorder and his thighs are inside his nose. Sounds much more uncomfortable than my silly nose zit. I'll stop complaining now and count my blessings.DaveC426913 said:

You still wouldn't know, because you'd have a zit inside your nose keeping you from smelling anything properly.tribdog said:

I suppose if you have a zit in your nose, everything smells like zits.

FAQ: Zit Inside the Nose: Causes, Treatment, and Prevention
1. What causes zits inside the nose?
Zits inside the nose, also known as nasal acne, can be caused by a variety of factors including hormonal changes, bacteria, and clogged pores. Hormonal changes can lead to an increase in oil production, which can clog pores and result in acne. Bacteria can also play a role in the development of zits inside the nose, as it can infect clogged pores. Additionally, wearing tight-fitting nose jewelry or constantly picking or blowing your nose can also cause zits to form.
2. How can I treat zits inside the nose?
Treating zits inside the nose involves a combination of topical and oral treatments. Topical treatments, such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, can help to kill bacteria and unclog pores. Oral antibiotics may also be prescribed by a doctor to help reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. In more severe cases, a doctor may also recommend a corticosteroid injection to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
3. Are there any home remedies for zits inside the nose?
While there is no one-size-fits-all home remedy for zits inside the nose, some people have found relief by using warm compresses, tea tree oil, or apple cider vinegar. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before trying any home remedies, as they may not be suitable for everyone and could potentially worsen the condition.
4. How can I prevent zits inside the nose?
To prevent zits inside the nose, it is important to maintain good hygiene and avoid picking or blowing your nose too aggressively. It is also recommended to avoid wearing tight-fitting nose jewelry and to regularly clean and disinfect any nose piercings. Additionally, incorporating a gentle facial cleanser and exfoliator into your skincare routine can help to prevent clogged pores and acne.
5. When should I see a doctor for zits inside the nose?
If your zits inside the nose are persistent, painful, or accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, it is important to see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. A doctor may also be able to determine if there is an underlying issue, such as a hormonal imbalance, that is contributing to the zits. Additionally, if home remedies and over-the-counter treatments are not providing relief, a doctor may be able to prescribe stronger medication to help clear up the acne.
