Please see Dr. ASAP: Weepy painful blisters are infection until proven otherwise, possibly a herpes infection. In an immunosuppressed individual herpes infections can be very serious. Over the counter cold sore treatments do not usually work for herpes infections anyways.

Question 4

is it possible for me to put a neosporin on scab inside my nose?

Yes it is: Petrolatum (vaseline) is also ok.

Question 5

inside my nose is very red and painful from the heat in my home, can i put neosporin up inside there to heal it, i'm afraid to use it incase it is dangerous to put inside?

Accepted Answer

: Neosporin is a triple antibiotic ointment and is used to reduce the risk of infections following minor skin injuries. You don't appear to have an infection, but rather dried out mucous membranes from the heat and low humidity in your home. Speak to your  local pharmacist re OTC products that can alleviate your symptoms. Lowering the temperature may also help.

Question 6

skin tags inside nose?

Accepted Answer

Skin tags: Not usually. But sometimes a person can have filliform warts inside their nose. See your doctor or a dermatologist to check them out.

Question 7

what to do with boils inside nose?

Accepted Answer

Eradicate Staph: Often people who get painful boils inside the nose have chronic colonization and periodic infection with staphylococcus bacteria.  This is quite common and usually easy to treat.  See your pcp or a dermatologist and have the problem checked out.  Usually, what is done is to apply antibacterial ointment (mupirocin) into the nostrils for 5 days.  Good luck.

Question 8

how do i treat a pustule inside nose? what caused it?

Accepted Answer

Leave it alone: Pustules can occur anywhere, usually from a blocked hair follicle or duct. It is best not to try and squeeze them as that can inject bacteria into the surrounding tissue and bloodstream and cause problems. Left alone pustules usually resolve on their own. If they become very large as an abscess your doctor can open and drain that safely for you.

Question 9

what could cause bloody crusty sores inside nose?

Accepted Answer

Lots of stuff: Could be anything from allergic rhinitis to cold sores to mrsa. Start with over the counter antihistamine and nasal saline spay daily. If after a few days it's not improving go see your doctor for further evaluation.

Accepted Answer

See surgeon: You should see the surgeon who performed the rhinoplasy. 7 weeks is still in the post-op period. Good luck.
