It may be due to nasal vestibulitis or folliculitis may be due to infection may present like red or inflamed bumps or white painful bumps at the nostril openings. Staphylococcus may common cause for it.
Avoid excessive blowing of the nose or use Mupirocin oint /Bacitracin Local application. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
