What Causes Soreness At The Tip Of The Nose?
I started off with like a spot on the end of my nose but was never able to touch it as it was so tender, it then dissappeared but ever since the inside tip of my nose has been very tender and sore, it s produces a crust that has a smell to it! My nose is even too sore to touch on the outside. I went to the doctors who gave me a nasal antibiotic cream to put in my nose! I ve had this for months now and the cream I got about 3 weeks ago is not working. Why is this happening?
