Bacitracin Ointment: A really bad sunburn that oozes is essentially a second degree burn. You've sufficiently injured the outer layer of the thin skin of your nose that it has sloughed and fluid seeps through the deeper layers of your skin. Keep the area clean, and apply Bacitracin ointment several times daily to keep the wound moist until it heals. You'll know it's healed when it no longer drains fluid.

Topical treatments: Another option is silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream. Consult with your doctor if no improvement. There could be an infection.

Wash & lubricate: Cold water & vaseline will be soothing. After a few days there will be scabs, then peeling.

Aloe Vera: Aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) can reduce redness, pain, itching & swelling from a burn. It has anesthetic, anti-inflammatory & antibacterial / antifungal qualities. It can speed burn healing by stimulating growth of new skin. Apply cool compresses. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and acetomenophen can be very helpful. Hydrate well and don't peel off any deep layers.
