Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The soreness in the nostril usually is related to a foruncle.
It is an infection of the hair follicle.
I suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
I also suggest to use a painkiller such as Tylenol in case of pain.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
