You might be suffering from acute infection of the hair follicles of the external part of nasal cavity which is known as furuncle. If it is very painful then a course of antibiotics is required. Avoid using coconut oil as it can act as media for bacterial growth
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
