What else can I help you with?
Is a brused type feeling above your gums and to the left of you nose?
Possibly a forming whitehead or blackhead, both of which are relatively minor problems involving the blockage of a sebaceous gland (oil producing gland). There seem to be an abundance of these at either side of the nose. Either will produce a tender feeling when touched, and will often, but not always, become a pimple, which in turn can become infected.If you are concerned, or if the problem does not self-correct in a few days, see a doctor.
What is the result of a bacterially-infected sebaceous gland?
A pimple, a boil (furuncle), or a sebaceous cyst.
Which type of gland can become blocked and form a blackhead?
Sebaceous glands, which are associated with hair follicles and produce oil (sebum), can become blocked, leading to the formation of blackheads. When the gland's duct is obstructed by dead skin cells and excess oil, the trapped material can oxidize and turn dark, resulting in a blackhead. This condition is commonly associated with acne.
A pimple is formed when the sebum of this blocked gland becomes infected?
Pimples are sebaceous glands (oil glands ) that are infected
When an oil gland gets infected what forms?
When an oil gland gets infected, it can form a pimple, also known as a pustule. This is caused by the buildup of bacteria and other debris within the skin's pores. If the infection is more severe, it can lead to the formation of a larger, painful bump called a boil.

What causes the little blackheads on your lip?
A blackhead is a yellowish or blackish bump or plug on the skin. It is a type of acne vulgaris. It is caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland's duct.Blackheads are typically caused by excessive oil and makeup, which can facilitate the multiplication of the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, the predominant anaerobe of the normal skin flora. The substance found in these bumps mostly consists of keratin and modified sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous gland), which darkens (resembling dirt) as it oxidizes.1If youre a female, blackheads around the lips can often be caused by chapstick/lipstick and makeup.1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackhead
