How To Get Rid Of The Dark Black Line Over The Nose?
I have a dark black line over my nose and it has been there for a long time but when I was younger like at the age of 9 I didn t have this black line over my nose but now that I m older it has gotten blacker darker and even sometimes Foundation concealer can t fix this problem or hide it so I was wondering what could I use to help get rid of this issue?

Hi,
It is called transverse line. It may be due to cleansing the nose in upward direction. It may be called salute sign also. Kindly avoid the habit of cleansing the nose in upward direction.
Apply skin lightening cream like kojic acid containing cream. Take vitamin C and glutathione tablets.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
