It seems that there is a certain infection in your nose area that is not healed totally and even if healed there is always a bacteria there that is waiting when a trigger comes again it wakens up and the pimple or boil appears again .you may be a carrier of the infection especially the area beside and around the nose is filled with staphylococcus bacteria that is the one responsible for the come back of you r large pimple or boil .You may need an oral antibiotic(amoxicilline for 7-10 days ) and a OTC topical antibacterial e.g 2% mupirocin ointment can be applied, twice daily for 5 days to eradicate carrier state.
Don’t squeeze or pick at the pimple on your nose. Although this may release some of the pus inside of it, it won’t make your pimple go away faster.

Doing so will further irritate and aggravate your skin, resulting in redness and dryness.
The good point is that pimple red marks commonly appear during the period of healing following a skin condition. These marks are produced by infection and disappear more quickly than other forms of skin discoloration although it is possible for them to last between four and twelve weeks. The length of time that they are visible, though, still depends on a lot of factors.
Acne red marks can be a good sign since they appear during the time that the acne is clearing up. so as for now you may not need any treatment just protect of the triggers that recur the pimple (clean your skin every day twice especially night time from make up ,use sun protection and block to protect from UV and humidity ,...
