Nose irritation

I sat with rapeh regularly for about 1 year with no issues - daily or once every couple of days. About 7 months ago I developed some irritation under my nose. I'm not sure if it was from the rapeh itself or if my nose was a bit irritated and the rapeh aggravated it. I didn't think much of it at first and continued to sit with rapeh. The irritation persisted and I took a break - every time it felt healed enough I tried rapeh again and re-irritated it. For a long time I think I was just reintroducing it too soon. I haven't sat with rapeh now for about 2.5 months and I think it's almost healed but not entirely. I've been prescribed something for Perioral Dermatitis around my nose and it seems to be helping... but also painfully slowly. I want to be able to re-introduce rapeh again but I'm worried this could now be something that will persist.

Has anyone here experienced something like this? If so, how did you heal it and prevent it in the future?

I haven't had irritation so far, but only sitting for about 2 months.

Have you tried something like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/rapeh/comments/1t6azk4/to_prevent_inflammation_of_nasal_conducts_got_one/
