Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of red tip of the nose and the soreness inside the nose.
This may be due to the following reasons:
Collumellitis and occurs due to to regular fondling of the inside of the nose due to real irritation or as a habit formation or as a result of stress relieving habit.
Cartilages of the ala get infected and inflamed.

I would advise you the following;
First of all, stop habit of touching the area consciously.
Get an antibiotic cover for a 3 week course and an anti-inflammatory medicines.
Do not apply anything locally.

Get a review once at least by an ENT Surgeon to have a look-in.
