Pink Nose

For a good 2 years now, I've had a persistently flushed nose. It would get red before but it'd be temporary. No broken capillaries as far as I see, it's just a pinkish color. Starts at the bridge of my nose (can see a contrasting line with the rest of my nose..other side is pale with a greenish yellowish hue). It's a darker red on the sides of my nose.

So far, touching my nose and cracking my nose (which I'd do fairly often) are definite triggers. Also cold/hot water. I think this all started a couple years ago when a ball hit my nose, it wasn't broken but it turned red..or maybe sun damage? Didn't use to wear sunscreen daily and I live in a dry, sunny climate. It could be a reaction to a product, the only harsh thing I remember using was this pixi glycolic acid toner..My mom has a red nose too, it could be genetic? I don't have redness ANYWHERE else, it's just the nose!

My nose is also veryy oily and has sebeceus filaments. Damn.. I hate it so much .. :( Never mind those other things, I just want my face to be one, uniform color. My routine now is gentle, alcohol free, fragrence free and natural-all that. No noticeable improvements.
