Nervous system
Looks like
A small branch of the nasociliary nerve passing from the eye socket into the nose through a tiny canal.
What it does
Brings feeling from the front of the nasal lining and the skin of the nose tip.
Keeping it well
Shingles here gives a rash on the nose tip (Hutchinson sign), which warns the eye may be involved — see a doctor fast.
