Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed allergic reaction.
Apply a mild steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for a week.
Bleed from nose might be due to dryness.
You can use xylometazoline nasal drops twice daily for a week.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area of your face.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
