If you are referring to the bridge of your nose, I was having the same problem recently. I poked around on this forum and decided to try some medical tape. I use about 3/4" of clear thin medical tape down my bridge lengthwise, and it has helped tremendously.

Consider buying the nose bridge protector shown here:

It works for many of us here.
