Concerned About a White Spot on Your Nose? Get Help Today!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query:

I understand your concern regarding the white spot that has appeared on your nose. There can be a variety of reasons for such a spot, ranging from simple sun spots or age spots to more complex conditions such as vitiligo or skin cancer. It is important not to panic or jump to conclusions. A proper examination is necessary to accurately diagnose the cause of this spot. Please make an appointment at our clinic at your earliest convenience so I can examine the spot and determine the appropriate course of action. In the meantime, I recommend that you protect your skin from sun exposure, as this can exacerbate many skin conditions. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and try to avoid direct sunlight during peak hours. 

Thanks
