What Causes Red,puffy And Sore Nose?
On friday my nose was sore, i thought it was a pimple forming so i left it alone.. i woke up on saturday and it was red and puffy and sore with small areas that were yellow. i squeezed the yellow areas then cleaned it with alcohol. now they are red scabbs and its kind of dry and its sore. i cleaned it again and some of the scabs came off and watery stuff came out. i dont know what it is, but i also have a few bumps by my eye but theyre not red or sore.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle. I suggest using Hydrogen peroxide to clean the area. I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
