Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of skin infection on the forehead and nose which seems to be due to blockage of pores of skin with dead skin and bacteria and could be due to fungal infection as well.

I would suggest you to maintain complete hygiene. You should give daily application of Glycolic acid 6 per cent on your skin. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply them on skin flakes. Don't use any cosmetics and hard substances on face. Take diet rich in vitamin E. Drink plenty of water. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-peeling and dermabrasion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
