Question : Hi, I have what appears to be a sore of some type on the inside of my nose. I do notice the tip of the nose on one side is a little misshapen and there is an odd odor I notice from time to time. It has been bleeding a little this week and wonder if I should be concerned. It seems to be ongoing for several months.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.
Recurrent sores inside the nose with bad odour suggests a non healing ulcer in the nose.
This needs evalution.
Detailed clinical examination, endoscopy, blood work is necessary. I woukd suggest you do consult with the doctor and get evaluated. There is no over the counter drugs for this.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
