Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history and concerns.
The itching and redness in a particular area of the body/face and nose indicates that this is something like fixed drug reaction.
You need the following:
A short course of oral steroids, antihistamine and Vitamin A and D in therapeutic dosages.
Do not apply any chemicals including soaps
