Suggest Treatment For Scabbing Inside The Nostril
I have had my nose pierced about 3 months now and all of the sudden I started developing scabbing on the inside of the nostril where the piercing is. I keep picking at it to try and clear it out, but it just keeps scabbing over. It has a strange color kind of yellow/green and I don't know to help it heal.

Hello
Please dont pick the scab as you will cause more trauma and the scabbing will increase further. i would like you to clean the area gently with warm water 2-3 times a day and apply mupirocin ointment over it, this will prevent an infection and help in healing. Dont worry ,you will be fine in a week.
Take care!
