Sunburn or Redness on Nose After Rhinoplasty

gelee30
I had my Rhinoplasty 7 weeks ago and now have noticed that the skin on the top lower portion of my nose is red and tender to the touch. I'm concerned because I have been doing a lot of driving and fear that the sunblock I use isn't strong enough. If it is indeed a sunburn then what can I do to get rid of it and how do I treat the redness? I'm worried that I did permanant damage to the skin on my nose! Will this go away? Thanks again for all of your helpful advice!
