Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The soreness in the nostril usually is related to a foruncle.
It is an infection of the hair follicle.
I suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
I also suggest to use a painkiller such as Tylenol in case of pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
