The hard skin on your nose may be a mild side effect of the antifungal cream, such as dryness or irritation, or part of the natural healing process. Avoid scratching, rubbing, and using harsh soaps, as this may worsen irritation or delay healing. Apply a gentle moisturiser if recommended by your doctor, and consult a dermatologist to decide whether you should continue or change the treatment.
