I am sorry to hear about your kitten. It looks like he has a wound of some sort on his nose with some swelling to accompany the wound, though it is difficult to discern from one photo. I would recommend bringing the kitty in for an examination at a veterinarian as we can have bacterial or fungal infections, and even parasites under the skin that can cause lesions such as this. In the meantime you can clean the area with an antiseptic solution such as Chlorhexidine and keep kitty indoors to avoid flies contaminating the area.
