There are two general reasons why the tip of the nose hurts when touched: 1. Infection of the skin or hair follicles of the tip of the nose. Because the nasal tissue is relatively dense, the lack of subcutaneous tissue, under the skin is cartilage, so once there is an infection of the skin or hair follicles, the pain will be obvious. You can use hot compresses, physical therapy with microwaves, and application of antibiotic ointment to reduce the pain and treat it. The main thing to pay attention to is not to squeeze the boils on the tip of the nose, because the veins in the middle of the face do not have venous valves, and after squeezing, the infection will go retrograde into the skull along the vessels and cause intracranial infection. 2. Dryness of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity. When the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity is dry, if the tip of the nose is touched, it will also cause pain in the nasal cavity or the tip of the nose, which is a very common disease in the autumn and winter in the north. It can be treated by rinsing the nasal cavity with salt water, washing the face with water or adding a nasal spray. Therefore, do not be nervous if you have pain at the tip of the nose when you touch it, and it is recommended to visit the ENT department of the hospital. Both boils and dry nasal mucosa are well treated and will soon be well as long as you follow the medical advice.
