For some reason the last couple of days my nose has been red and stinging. I'm a 19 year old male. Doubt its rosacea becuz it's just been doing this recently. Anyone else get this? Hope the **** goes away. Also I haven't been in the sun that much. Any ideas how to deal with this?

No one, not even a doctor, can tell you what to do without seeing your nose. I suggest you make an appointment with a dermatologist for a formal diagnosis and treatment.
Just because you've developed it recently does not mean it isn't rosacea. Rosacea commonly develops in adults (usually between 30 and 60) but has been known to start in the late teens.
You need to know what it really is before trying to treat it. Self treating an unknown skin ailment, especially on the face, is never wise. You could make the situation worse (then your nose would really be noticeable) or even cause scarring. Please make an appointment with a dermatologist.
