Dear Nat,
Can you please answer for me a few additional questions?
- can you think of a specific cause for this condition?
- does it hurt you at all or it's only a bit sensitive when you touch it? (does it scratch or burn for instance?)
- do you take any medication/cream do make it go away and if yes, can you specify which one?
- can you add some additional, concomitant problems you have, to have a bigger picture of your chronic condition?
Thank you, I'm already looking at options but would like some additional infos to confirm.

Because of all the modalities you mentioned, I would go for Arsenicum who matches the following aggravations:
salt, fruits, vegetables, fat, alcool (inc. wine).
Also, it's a remedy for red pustules/skin eruptions.
But I would try the 30C dilution because it's such an "old" condition.

Additional bio:
not sure of the cause...heat in the liver?
the nose does not hurt but the small pimples/pustules are sensitive to touch. There is no itching or burning but some slight tingling sensation is noticed before sleep. When eating fatty/salty foods, especially in the evening, nose can get shiny/red.
My hands have always been cold to touch, even if I feel warm inside. They perspire sometimes, especially in a hot environment.
With age, there is higher sensitivity to heat.
I am sensitive to caffeine. It increases perspiration under arms, hands and feet.
Digestion is reliable and sleep reasonable.
I do not take any medications or use special creams. I take a weekly vitamin B-12 and vitamin D
My constitution is on the choleric side. Mother was hot tempered, nervous,in a hurry and father mild mannered/methodical. I am somewhere in the middle, and a little on the studious side.
Thank you for your help!

sorry about my late reply, I wanted to check with my new homeopathic software before, and I only got it today. It seems that CAUST. 30C would be the best fit, it's the main remedy for Rosacea. It would definitely be a safe bet. Do me a favor and don't mix remedies! I don't know why so many people on this forum advise many remedies at once, this is a big no-no in classical homeopathy (according to its founder, Hannhemann)
So this is how you take the remedy: the first pellet can be taken as is on the tongue, and then you put 2 pellets in a bottle of water (small or big doesn't matter, but it has to be half-full) and before taking a dose (=a sip) you bang the bottle 10 times against the palm of the other hand. I would suggest to take 3 doses (3 sips) per day and let me know how things are improving (or not). Then we'll adjust accordingly.
