Nose sores: It sounds like it has been awhile since you were tested for staph and you have been treated. The best way to find out what is going on is to see a doctor again. An ENT can help. Or if the sores are external on your skin see a dermatologist.

Nose sores : when it occurs in your nose it is always painful. The most common reason is bacterial infection resulting into a boil. If the cause is infection, you should take prescribed antibiotics. Also eat a balanced diet to ensure strong immune system. It is very important when the sores recur frequently.
