thanks for using HCM.This is more a case of skin disease and not a ENT disorder.There appears to be some inflammation of the skin of the nose,whether due to bacterial infection/dermatitis/autoimmune disease which appears to be causing the problem.It would help if you seek the opinion of a Dermatologist who can diagnose the condition and guide you further.
