Hi,

The blister like lesios on the nose would be most likely herpes simplex. There may be localised cluster of small clear fluid containing vesicles. There may be burning pain. The lesions might heal leaving scars. The diseae may recur. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.

After thorough examination, he might give antiviral like acyclovir in proper doses along with antibiotics and analgesic. And acyclovir cream may be applied till the healing. If there is a scar, you may apply silicon containing gel.

Immunity may be improved by immunobooster like levamisole. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
