So I just got out of the shower to this... (Around my nose) this picture doesn't show the redness or bumpiness accurately but there's no good lighting so this'll have to do. Help?!

Well it could be the hot shower. My face gets a little red when I shower.

Maybe it's a breakout under your skin that showed up beacause of the steam...?

This is seborhic dermatitis, all It is- is basically a dandruff of your skin, and mainly acts up in cold winter months, I get this sometimes in the winter- go to your local walmart and pick this up- there are going to be 2 products in there and you can't unfortunately buy them separate but the one is a salicylic acid cream (don't use that! It's for dermatitis and psoriasis to basically help exfoliate and get rid of the top layers of skin- but it made my skin burn and hurt) but the other product is skin zinc and it's a zinc cream (safe for your face) and super hard to find in stores- but I put this on after I gently cleaned the area off with fragrance free soap and warm water (exfoliating it can be helpful if it's SUPER gentle! If you're rough or the exfoliating beads are too big you'll just give yourself an open painful wound!) anyways, put the skin zinc on cleaned skin 4x a day- avoid fragrances and makeup on the area as much as possible and apply a vitamin e capsule (just poke a hole in it and lather it on before bed) and this will help to bring moisture to the area and heal the skin overnight. These two things completely healed mine up in a matter of two weeks it was gone!! Hope this helps you!!

My advice is if you think it's a form of dermatitis ask a dermatologist seborrheic dermatitis usually consist of white flaky patches which I don't see and I'm a licensed Esthetician and I can't diagnosis this accurately from this pic so before you put a medicated cream on your face be sure that is what you have , dermatitis is persistent it doesn't just pop up after a shower you would have noticed it long before that

Mine didn't have white flakey patches until after a few days I finally noticed it.. I never went to the dr just looked around online, and skin zinc is just zinc pyrithione of.25%, you use stronger than that in dandruff shampoos and zinc is in most body soaps so it really won't hurt you at all. If it were something like a cortisone cream then I would agree with you because that can have horrible side effects and damage your skin but zinc won't harm you. I would deff say to go see a dr but not everyone can see a dermatologist. Just my two thoughts...

Amanda I'm not saying If she does or doesn't have it hun I'm saying the picture is unclear so giving a proper skin analysis is unlikely, and zinc dries out your oil and decreases your sebum production so while that works fine for some inflammatory skin irritations on some skin types this will just leave the area dry and raw so it's best to know for sure what the skin condition is before guessing and trying to treat it.
