What are the scabs in my nose caused by?
Related Topics
For about a year now I have had continuous nose sores on the nostrils of my nose. They never seem to heal. I have tried taking lycene tablets and also a cream inside my nose but they didn't work. I then went to the doctor and she put me on the antibiotic E moxin which also didn't work! I plan to see another doctor soon and have an assessment but please if anyone could help me that would be fantastic as they are a real pain and stress for me! -

They are caused by a combination of trauma usually picking, nose blowing etc, an infection usually staph and good airflow with a deviation of the septum
start by leaving it alone, absolutely no touching, use a nasal gel like FESS nasal gel or neilmed nasal gel 2-3 a day and give it a week
if it still hurts you will need an antibiotic cream like bactroban and a doctor to make sure the diagnosis is rightReport this post
