Just off the bridge of my nose,above the most closest part of my nostril it will often become tender and feel bruised?it seems to swell, what is this?

Infection?: It sounds like you might have a pimple inside your nostril or even some cellulitis in the area. I am not sure how long this has been going on, but you probably need medical treatment. The bridge of the nose and nearby areas are particularly delicate when it comes to localized infection.
