I'm no expert, but I don't see why vaping would affect the sebum production of your body which is directly related to your hormones. Also, scars do not form unless the acne is continuously picked at, which I advise you stop doing as they can become permanent.

As for the nose bleeds, again I see no reason why vaping would cause that. Especially considering you've been vaping for over a year and only recently saw symptoms 6 months ago. If your nose was injured the inside of your nose may be damaged and so therefore is now sensitive and can easily result in common nose bleeds. Exhaling through your nose could eventually dry it out and result in nose bleeds, or the vapor could irritate it and do the same.

The nose bleed is the only thing of any remote concern, and if you are concerned about it, I'd see a doctor if it is that severe.

You've had these symptoms for 6 months, and you haven't been to a doctor about it? And now you are asking vapers about it..

Don't blame it on the sunshine, Don't blame it on the moonlight, Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

I get a dry nose in the winter from the reduced humidity that comes with cold air. That sometimes causes nosebleeds for me. A humidifier takes care of that :)

Have not had a problem with pimples since I was a lot younger.

If I had your symptoms, didn't know what was causing them and they bothered me I would see my doctor.

I can agree on the vaping causing nose bleeds. I have never had frequent nosebleeds in my life, I'm 38 and could count on one hand the times I have had them.

Since I started vaping I have had them several times, mostly after exhaling through my nose a lot. But nowhere near as serious as yours, I only notice it after using a tissue.

The above has happened to me about 7 or 8 times in the year I have been vaping.

GO TO YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!! Sorry but why the hell do people with these sort of symptoms come to a vaping forum for answers, if you'd been to the doctor and they had no idea and after tests they declared you fit I might get it but any physical symptoms go to the doctor first.

High VG causes lots of dust. Lots of dust causes...well...lots of boogers, which means your nose digging would increase. Are you spending more time nose mining? More than you care to admit? Come on, admit it. Like every athlete, I know sometimes I get going, get in the zone and without thinking about it, I've spent 45 to 50 minutes up to my knuckles rooting around up there! They call it "The Pickers High" I swear, one day, I'll touch my brain! So I have to ask, are you taking care of basic nail maintenance? One rogue nail can cause a lot of damage. Next time you are in NYC, go see my nail guy, Deep Eddie. He'll give you a pro pickers manicure for a reasonable price.

My son picks his nose in his sleep and he has often woken up to a blood stained pillow case.

Just a thought does your tank leak? Are you touching your nose with oily hands? Could be as simple as clogging your pores causing the pimples. As for the nose bleeds if you blow lots of clouds out your nose you could be drying out the membranes causing it but I cannot stress this suggestion enough............

GO TO THE DOCTOR and get yourself a professional medical opinion!:danger:

When I switched from high pg to 80-90 VG a couple weeks ago, I experienced blood in my nose and my throat was extremely dry as well. I know it was from the high VG which I had never used before. I have since lowered the VG anywhere from 50-70 and haven't had problems since except maybe the occasional dry mouth.
