Dark skin on both sides of nose


I noticed a darker color on both sides of my nose it's like brownish with a bit of red but not too red. It's just darker than my normal color of skin on my face. What is that? How can I lighten and prevent it?

Might it be blood vessels that have ruptured or moved to the top of your skin? There are lots of things that can cause this. You’ll want to check with your dermatologist. If not a medical problem you may be a candidate for cosmetic procedure to get rid of the ‘color.’
Unti then, does foundation makeup help minimize the color? You may want to use a corrector makeup under the foundation. Your department store cosmetic rep can help you with using the right product.
Good luck.
