maybe try taking an antihistemene before you ride, that helps my friend
WARNING: May cause drowsiness. DO NOT operate machinery. May have adverse effects on alcohol.
You can buy non-drowsy anti-histamine tablets, such as Clarama, Claratyne or Telfast. They aren't quite as effective as the original preparations such as Phenergan, but they will do the job.
They still make me drowsy

Take a 10 or 25mg Phernegan with a class of wine or beer and they make a good sleeping tablet
The Azep I said about is a spray anti-hist and is fairly quick acting where as the others I have mentioned are cortosone based and require regular use to maintain effectiveness.
If the skin around your nose is dry try some Dermaveen oat-meal moisturiser, as it is for dry-itchy skin

give telfast a go, get the green 180mg packet (costs about the same as the 120mg) and see if they help... they dont cause any drowsyness, unless maybe your some weirdo
the ones with psuedoephedrine say they are non drowsy, and even tho they make me start chewing on my tongue, they sure knock me out

You fellas must be soft if you get knocked out by anti-histamine tablets!
Having said that i never take them due to drugs in sport policies and what have you.

Fairly big statement there.

most people have quite the opposite effect with pseudoephedrine...
but for a small few (including me) it makes me sleepy, even if my heart rate is elevated

Quite regularly, but not all the time, I get a terribly itchy Nose - I'm assuming from the buzzing or Vibes from the Airflow/Screen/Visor. Hard as I try, I cannot ignore it and it becomes a real distraction when blasting through the twisty bits. Visor open or closed, it makes no difference.
I've noticed that the Race Boys wear a little strip of sticking plaster on their nose as was wondering if this was related.
Any help or insights would be appreciated.
Scratch It

Maybe you could get to te chemist for a batch of lyclear. Cleared up a nasty case of the crabs. You never know where those little f'ckers can get to.
Alternatively just give it a good fingerin before you put your lid on. Something that will last a good hour and you're set.
Last resort is taping a pen lid to one of your fingers to give you that little extra reach.
Oh just remembered. You could always do what this bloke did. No more issues. Pain killers may set you back abit though but if the claim comes through ya set. Noses are over rated anyway. Just ask anyone who rides with an open faced lid
