Question

I have a few pits on my nose around 3cm in size along with many smaller ones that seem to produce oil and a white creamy substance. Can this be treated without plastic surgery or would I need it? I'd also like to improve the shape of my nose what options do I have for that?

The bumps and pits on your nose, along with the oily and white substance, likely indicate sebaceous hyperplasia and sebaceous filaments. These are benign skin conditions that can be managed with skincare routines and treatments. For nose reshaping, rhinoplasty (either surgical or non-surgical) is an option.
