Suggest Treatment For Sore In Nose
Hi! I have a sore in my left nostril that s been there for about six months. I am NOT a picker! I tried antibacterial soap and water, hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, and coconut oil; all at separate times of course. It bleeds when I blow my nose, and is sometimes painful or itchy. I see puss after I treat it with anything. I also leave it alone in between trying a new treatment and see no difference. Should I be concerned? NEVERMIND! IF I HAD MONEY I WOULD SEE A DOCTOR IN PERSON!!!! THANKS FOR MAKING ME THINK YOU WOULD HELP ME!

Hi, you seem to be having a fruncle in nose but the thing against it a six months history. So the more likely possibility is an ulcerated area which gets peeled off repeatedly. You have used almost all of the commonly used treatments. Please use a combination of Neosporin with hydrocortisone ointment and try avoid touching the area altogether. Please keep your finger nails short and clean and get your blood sugar checked. Regards
