Possible infection: It sounds as if you have an infection likely involving the base of a hair follicle or some skin structure of the nose. Apply hot packs twice a day. If it is getting worse see your doctor or an ear, nose, and throat surgeon.

Swollen nose: Get checked out to make sure you dont have an infection, polyp or fracture of your nose. See an ENT physician for help.
