My nose had a transverse crease, so long that it started to look patched and hyperpigmented. The transverse nasal crease is an asymptomatic line of your nose that occurs due to habitual rubbing of the nose upwards. Respiratory allergies can make one pull their nose up frequently leading to the nasal crease. My nose became quite unclear due to this. The nose is a distinguishing part of your face and maintaining it devoid of marks is satisfactory.
I didn’t know that this thing on my nose had a name in the first place until very recently, I searched for it on YouTube. I badly wanted to make the crease disappear, so, I browsed through some remedies. The one remedy that kept repeating in every video was to ‘stop pulling up your nose.' I was a sceptic at first, thinking how much of a difference could that bring. But you’d be surprised to know that after a month of following it, I have brought a difference. The line started to fade, and also the area that was darkened around the line. I also tried another treatment along with this - pulling down the tip of my nose. By doing this habitually, not only you break the habitual pulling down of the nose but also can witness a rapid disappearance of the nasal crease.
Below are the routines I followed in the past month:
1. While sleeping, I was keeping myself aware not to fold my nose upward against the pillow. Sleep is the main cause for the crease to be formed because you subconsciously press your nose against the pillow until morning, and it creates a solid impression.
2. When washing my face, I unknowingly pull my nose upward, which I've now rectified.
3. Folding down the tip of my nose as frequently as I can.
Note: Transverse nasal crease can also occur due to biological or environmental factors. Consult a physician if it persists.
Hope this read helps you in tackling the transverse nasal crease. Get that beautiful nose of yours back to its full glory.
