Maybe its a side effect of your medication. Have you discussed this with the doctor who prescribed it for you?

the perscription has cortozone in it as well...he said it would help with acne and skin irritation. When he first perscribed it he wasn't sure why but he said it looks as if something is irritating it. I go snowboarding every weeknd and i wear goggles which sit on my nose. That could be the reason it keeps getting irritated and dosent have time to heal. I am not putting anything else on it other then the clyindamcyin perscription he gave me for it. Its red, oily, acne, skin is broken. I just want it to go away!

Aaahhh, the wonderful world of prescription meds. They typically only leave you with more symptoms which lead to taking different pills. No wonder these drug companies are filthy rich.
Have you tried just smoothing some cocoa butter on your nose? Sometimes that's all it takes. Let me know how that goes.
