Question 1

what is the definition or description of: ulcerations in nose?

Accepted Answer

Mucosal breakdown: Ulcerations in the nose are areas of superficial (partial) breakdown of the protective mucosal membrane. This creates shallow regions of inflammation, redness, and crusting in the nose.

Question 2

what does ulceration of the mucous membrane of the nose do to you?

Accepted Answer

Infection risk: The nose is one of your primary lines of defense against disease. The nasal membranes filter most of the airborne viruses, bacteria, pollutants, and other nasty stuff that you're constantly inhaling into it. When those membranes are damaged, the nasties go directly into your air passages and increase the chances that you will get sick.

Question 3

what problems result from ulceration of the mucous membrane of the nose?

Accepted Answer

Nasal vestibulitis: A raw area in the nose is frequently caused by a bacterial infection of the lining of the nose.  Sometimes this is MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureus).  If not going away it should be looked at by an ent.  Frequently treated with  Mupirocin ointment, sometimes in combination with Doxycycline antibiotic pills.

Question 4

montelukast and levocetrizine dihydrochloride tablet montgro-l has been prescribed for chest and nasal congestion and duodenal ulceration. is that ok?

Accepted Answer

On duodenal ulcer?: I am not aware of any effect on ulcer from montelukast or levocetirizine.     However montelukast does have potential beneficial effects on nasal and"chest" congestion (about 50% response rate). Both drugs have a good safety profile.

Question 5

what could cause sores in nose ?

Accepted Answer

Nasal sores: Sores in the nose could be caused by vitamin b deficiency, irritation (cocaine users) and infection. More common infections are caused by viruses (herpes) and and bacteria (staph, strep).

Question 6

meth sores in nose after smoking meth is there anything i can do to help it besides stopping meth?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I would be concerned about a staph infection.   But I am most concerned that despite some serious xXxX you are not prepared to ask for help in stopping the meth.   This constitutes a life threatening addiction.  I pray you can find some help with it as well as being checked out for a staph infection.

Question 7

i continuously develop open ulcers (started as just one in one side and now there are multiple in both sides) in my nostrils (which are extremely painful, even if i touch my nose from the outside), and now i'm seeing white closed lesions throughout my nos

Accepted Answer

Infection?: This could be an infection - impetigo. I am presuming you are not abusing cocaine which can injure the lining of the nose? 
See an MD to look for signs of infection which may need antibiotics.

Question 8

my nose feels like its been punched and there are what looks like ulcers in my nostrils. theres a funny smell too. had it for 4 plus weeks. help!

Accepted Answer

Tough to know: Several possibilities could explain these symptoms and include infection, environmental exposure, malignancy, and even systemic disease such as vasculitis.  Suggest one-on-one discussion with a physician who will ask targeted questions and get more information about you.  As a start, you could consider a virtual consult on Health Tap.

Question 9

sores in nose is this a bacterial infection ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Could be bacterial.  Could be viral.  Could be fingernail.

If it is accompanied by discharge and crusting, and if it fails to self resolve after several days to a week, it might be bacterial and require an antibiotic.

Question 10

inside my nose feels like i have ulcers or scabs & when i look inside i seem to have sores/ulcers. they're flat, whitish, & mucus is white/yellow. dx?

Accepted Answer

Not possible to say: without looking at them.  Most likely local irritation and dryness, but you need to make sure it is not more serious condition.  Show them to your doctor or ENT specialist just to be sure.
