Blackheads on my nose: what works?

Quick question. For the last few months, I’ve been dealing with these constant breakouts on my nose. It’s not even just a little bump; an entire side of my face turns bright red, and you can't even squeeze them because they’re stuck deep under the skin.
I bought some over-the-counter acne gel that's supposed to dry them out and clear things up. But as soon as I finish a tube, maybe two or three weeks later, they start popping up again right in the same spot or on the other side. Should I bother seeing a doctor or what?

thanks!
