What Causes Persistent Sharp Pains In One Of The Nostrils?

Hi,



I have been getting sharp pains in one of my nostrils for about 6 months.



This week the pain has increased a lot and it is very painful to touch one side of my nose.



My nose is not swollen.



I have just take a look in my nostril and the skin inside is completely white with some red vains running through it. I cannot not see any lumps or swelling inside my nostril.



As previously stated I have been getting these pains for a while but this week my teeth have been sore, as has may gland and jaw (just the left side which is the same side as the sore nostril) as well as headaches. Though those symptons my just be down to a cold so not sure whether they would be connected to the problem in my nose.



What could be the problem.
