You seem to be suffering from nasal vestibulitis which is a common type of hair follicle infection after common cold. You need to apply antiseptic ointment for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can use mupirocin ointment
