Could be several: different conditions, such as fungal or bacterial infection most commonly Erysipelas or Rosacea. Or it could be bad acne, or reaction to cold/heat. or a sunburn or chemical burn. Is it peeling? Is it hot and tender? Are there spots? Please see a healthcare provider for help with your condition.

Hi! I have a red, sore spot on the tip of my nose - how do I know if it's an infection? I don't have a fever.
