Nose pain on the tip of the nose

[BlueStarAdept]

I have had nose pain, on and off, for almost two years. I have lived in the same place for the past three and a half years. The pain is on the left side of my nose at the tip of my nose. It does not go up the nose or reach the bridge. It is localized at the tip.
It is extremely painful to the touch. Even the lightest touch will cause pain.
I do not have acne or zits any more and it does not feel the same as a zit.
I do not have any congestion and my nose is not running.
There is no redness or swelling of my nose.
The pain will show up for 5-10 days and then go away again for 7 days or so. Sometimes I can go three weeks without pain.
My doctor has said that there is nothing he can do. He is not concerned about infection and has given me no indication of what he thinks it might be.
Anybody else out there that has this symptom?

I have worked for many ENT's and  was once told its due to a staph infection inside the nose . An antibiotic ointment is needed to clear it up. Over the counter are not usually strong enough tho a RX is needed

I also have nose pain, but not at the tip. I have pain a little above it and it feels like its bruised but I didn't do anything. When I touch it it hurts, and even when I bend over to grab something I can already feel it "bruise" again.

I also have this pain. On the tip of my left nostril. Just pressing the end of my nose is so painful. I thought at first it might have been a pimple on the inside but I've had the pain for 3 weeks now. I'd love to know what causes it.

I started experiencing the exact pain everyone has been describing a few days ago and read every thread I could find through google. I saw ONE post about putting coconut oil in your nostril. Desperate, I tried it. After the first application, my nostril felt less "hard" but still tender. After the second application (a day later), the tenderness definitely subsided. Now, 12 hours after the second application, my nose is practically back to normal. I vowed to post this to as many places as I went to, just in case it helps anyone else.

I have the same pain on the tip of my nose. However, about 1 year ago i was diagnosed w/ Raynaud's syndrome which basically causes poor circulation in the extremities. My toes and fingers sometimes hurt. Especially when it's cold out. Because we r talking about the tip of the nose...there is definitely poor circulation involved there. Basically there is no treatment for Raynaud's....but I take Garlic pills to improve blood flow...and also a testosterone booster.  I take both...they do help. If i go a few days without taking them my pain gets worse. Hope this helps!!

I've had the same thing for about 4 months now. It began after I pulled a couple of nose hairs out of my nostril. A day or so after pulling the hairs it started to feel like I was getting a pimple inside my nose. Then the pain started and the tip of my nose really swelled up and was red. I soaked it with warm compresses and it pretty much went away. Then I pulled another hair about a month later and boom - it started all over again. No, I'm not pulling hairs ever again.
I was left with sensitivity in the inside of my nose and in the tip. It almost feel as though the tissue just inside my nostril is thicker. I also wonder if it isn't a cyst because it seems like I've got discharge that dries, almost like a scab but it comes back almost as soon as I scrape off the dry stuff - no, it's not boogies.
Now today the edge of my right nostril is getting painful again. It actually is the entire edge of my nostril into the tissue that divides one nostril from the other. It's been going on too long and I too and wondering what sort of doc to go to. It's very painful right now, almost throbbing as I'm sitting here typing.
Has anybody found out anything about what this could be???
