A member asked:

I have a scrape/burn/scab from blowing my nose too much. anything to make it heal fast or go away? under nostrils. could it look better in 5 days? ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nasal scab: Localized skin infection. You can try applying antibiotic lotion or ointment, small amount three times per day. Neosporin is one brand name. Use sparingly so excess does not get up into nostrils.
