Are Hard, Painful And Numb Scabs On The Nose A Sign Of Parasites?
I have a strange yellow scab like formation on the outside of my nose. It looks like bubbles and I have been told it might possibly be parasites. The scabs feel hard, but numb. It started when I was itching my nose and I scratched the outside tip of it. It hurt and I thought it was just a scratch. I took a shower then woke up the next day with multiple bumps on it. The day after that they turned yellow and now I m worried. PLEASE HELP

you might have skin infection It might not be parasitic as you think it can be just bacterial . Do not scratch over it , show it to a dermatologist near by to get proper medication
