Dry crust on the corners of nose?

So the story is i was with my friend and we were swimming at a lake and after i got out the corners of my nose were irritated and red and stung, as well as a small area at the corner of my mouth. that was about 5 days ago now the areas are still read and develop a dry crust after a while, and with water i can sorta scrub it off and it is still red. the crust kind of looks like dry skin but comes off with water. It could be dry skin i don't know. It is sort of like when you have a cold and your nostrils get red and irritated but also on a spot by my mouth and high up on the corners of my nose. I use a facial cleanser kind of thing and a spf 15 moisturizer on my face once or twice a day, and the moisturizer irritates it. It is sooooo annoying. Does anyone know what this is and or how to get rid of it? Please help!!!

    Must be something in the lake and this is an allergic reaction to it. Maybe you get first some alcohol on it as disinfection and later some healing cream and don't get the crust always away, that will make it even worse. Your skin wants to heal and the crust is something from this process..
