It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using over-the-counter antibacterial washes like Hibiclens or Betadine to help clear up the bumps. Applying a warm compress to the affected area several times a day can also help. Make sure to wear loose-fitting clothing to allow the area to breathe. If the bumps do not improve with home remedies, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe topical antibiotics or other medications to help clear up the folliculitis. The time it takes to resolve the issue can vary depending on the severity of the condition, but with proper treatment, it should improve within a few weeks.

I'm noticing a dark horizontal line on my nose and I'm not sure what's causing it. I've been using a Clean & Clear blackhead scrub, but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. Could this be an allergy or something else? I've seen other people with similar lines, and I've attached a photo for reference. Any insights would be really helpful!

That could be Hyperpigmentation, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
