I use a little bagbalm on finger and insert nostril helps alot i dont get nosebleeds as often. Of coarse they backed way down after mepron+Bactrim treatment for babesiosis.

If you've got dryness and maybe some cracked skin around/in your nose definitely try a antibiotic triple-ointment (over the counter). Will help heal your skin. The stuff is magic.
Sore face (cheek bones/above the eye) sound like a sinus infection to me.
If you're on abx it might not be the right one to kill a sinus infection.
I'm allergic to several antibiotics but have found that 10 days of Levaquin works wonders on a sinus infection.
