I'm really concerned about the tip of my nose being red-pink and a bit swollen. There's no itching, but it's definitely painful when I touch it. It also looks like tiny pimples are forming on the swollen part. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that'll just clear up on its own?

The symptoms you are describing sound like you may have a localized skin infection on the tip of your nose. This could be due to a bacterial infection or inflammation of the hair follicles. To help treat this, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling. If the symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription of oral antibiotics.
