Do you think this could be Gore-Tex infection or an allergic reaction? (Photo)

Asked By:Nx200t in Missouri

I had gore-tex implanted on the bridge of my nose about a month ago. My skin is been peeling and itchy. My bridge is red as you can see. I don’t feel any pain or tenderness on the area. Is it just sensitive new skin or is it an infection?
