Hello,
Bruises on the nose commonly occur due to broken capillaries under the skin, rosacea, insect bites, skin allergies, infections or scratches.
Try not blowing your nose too hard, avoid dogging nose, apply vitamin K cream, herbal cream with aloe vera, vitamin C & ice therapy is effective at times.
Avoid direct sun rays, avoid the use of perfumed chemical cosmetics, abstain from going to polluted-dirt filled places. Get examined by a dermatologist ate the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
