Default Help editing nose discoloration

I took these photos for a friend and their youngest daughter’s nose looks orange in many of the photos. What is the best way to fix this in Photoshop? I looked through the archives and didn’t see anything specific about this problem. Thanks so much!

Try desaturating the yellow channel...that might help. The cheeks look a little orange, too.

FYI the discoloration is probably because the baby was fed carrots or sweet potatoes the day before - happens a lot! I remember my little ones being orange for a day when they ate orange foods.

Add some blue in color balance.

I hope you don't mind, I need some practice with PP and I tried my hand at this. Of course, say the word and I'll delete this.

I desaturated the yellow channel by 50, upped the blue channel by 50, and lessened the red channel by 10.

I did a quick edit too.
I first did a curves adjustment to correct the whole photo's yellowness.
Then tweaked the yellowness of the nose and cheeks with hue/sat (shifted the color bit to red etc) layer and mask.
