Does anyone know what these red blotches on my nose are? They have been present for around 2 years and whilst the vary in intensity they are always there. My doctor has prescribed Daktacort but the improvements are negligible.

Hi John,
Looks like Rosacea or permanently dilated blood vessels. I would discuss with your doctor and consider taking doxycline (it has an anti-inflammatory effect) for a while to see if they improve.
If that doesn't work, then consider laser treatment or IPL to destroy the blood vessels underneath.
