After starting a new job where I wear safety glasses and work using dry ice, twice now this has happened to my nose. The swelling is mainly on the right side and tip of my nose and it is tender to touch. The redness and swelling don't show very well in the picture. I really would like to know what it is but don't want to see a doctor. Thank you in advance!

First, can I just say what a cool job!!!! I woke up this morning and it has spread further to my right side of my face and is starting to irritate my eye too. Guess I might have to go to urgent care this weekend. 😕

Yes because the safety glasses go over my prescription glasses. They are too big so they slip down my nose and I have to push them back up. Do you think that's the problem?

It sounds like you're going through a tough time with your symptoms. While the context provided doesn't specifically mention a red, swollen nose with bumps as a symptom of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or its treatments, it's important to consider that RA and medications like Methotrexate can cause various skin issues.

It sounds like you're going through a tough time with your symptoms. While the context provided doesn't specifically mention a red, swollen nose with bumps as a symptom of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or its treatments, it's important to consider that RA and medications like Methotrexate can cause various skin issues. For instance, Methotrexate, a common medication for RA, can cause sores in the nose and mouth. Additionally, rheumatoid nodules, which are associated with RA, can appear in various parts of the body, though they are not specifically mentioned to occur on the nose. If you're experiencing these symptoms, it might be related to your RA or its treatment. It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your specific situation.
