i have a question. so long story but- i have reoccurring shingles in my nose. I know what they look like and when they are coming in. for the last year, i ve had a constant scab in my nose getting worse and worse. its now on both sides of my nose, is extremely painful and sore. the scabs aren t normal, they are kind of yellow with a slight hint of pink and smell really bad. i try not to pick them, but if i don t, they keep building up until they are hanging out of my nose. this isn t shingles. at first i thought it was because it was winter and it was dry, i got a humidifier and it did nothing. I ve put vaseline and neosporin up there, saline, you name it. i ve been reading so many different things that i just need some help figuring out what this is. i made an appointment for a dermatologist but i did read that this could be a sign of cancer. my nose isn t just dry either. it runs all the time and i have to use a q-tip to clear out any clear boogers but when i do that, a pinkish discharge comes out with the boogers. i can t touch my nose and any advice would be great as to what this could be. cancer runs strong in my family, i m a smoker and i m also a hairdresser and work a lot with harsh chemicals..i do A LOT of the brazillian blowout treatments (which produce a toxic formaldehyde gas) and i m wondering if thats becoming detrimental to my health. i have a couple moles that have recently popped up (which some look okay, others not so much)
