Brief Answer:
Interfere with immune function.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Alcohol can result in a variety of skin disorders because it interferes with immune functions to promote skin diseases, such as acne.

I recommend the following.
1) Avoid alcohol and smoking.
2) Drink enough water everyday to keep the nasal mucosa and skin hydrated.
3) Avoid nose picking.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help you.

Wish you a good health.

Take care.
