Something like a rosacea but I am not sure

I have attached a photo of my nose, and yes I am Asian.
I move from south to north to have my college eduction, during which time get nose comedo.
I pushed my nose hard and get rid of the comedo, but find out my nose is red and won't change back.
Can't be seen from photo, but if looked close enough, there are many small holes at the front end pf my nose, and it is quite oil, it usually get worse after face wash, the whole nose get spread red.
Please help me indentify this illness and give some suggestions, thanks!

Hello,
One possibility for your redness of nose is dermatitis or rosacea. Rosacea is a cutaneous disorder of the central part of the face , such as forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Pimples or acne are sometimes included as part of the definition.

Apply calamine lotion and topical steroids and avoid messing with it. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist. Also try avoiding the rosacea triggers. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
