White bumps on the nose are actually whiteheads. Whiteheads are a type of acne. This type of acne is called acne vulgaris, and there are many types of acne in clinical practice. White bumps are sebum, or what is called a white lipid plug, inside the whitehead acne. If you squeeze it out, the white bumps are something like small white grains of rice. When this occurs, you can use clindamycin gel or adapalene gel applied topically, followed by oral treatment with Tanshinone capsules or Fang Feng Tong Sheng capsules.
