Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
A pimple inside the nose can be a minor annoyance or a sign of an infection inside the nose.
The treatment consist in :
- application of antibiotic ointments
- treatment with oral antibiotics for 7 to 14 days
-if it doesn't go away the infected area may require surgical drainage to prevent swelling.
-take anti-inflammatory medication to relieve pain associated with the pimple inside your nose. This includes ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
-Applying warm, moist compresses to your nose between 15 and 20 minutes, three times per day.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
