See doctor: Cellulitis any where is a serious matter and on the face it is doubly serious. Oregano oil is not a treatment for cellulitis. Please see your doctor or go the hospital for a proper treatment.

Staph infection: The most common cause of cellulitis of the nostril is an infection caused by Staph aureus. This bacteria is commonly found in the nostril and can cause an infection of the hair follicles in the nostril. Hot soaks to the inside of the nostril or topical antibiotic can help. However, this is potentially a serious infection and may need drainage and systemic antibiotics. See an ENT doctor.
