A member asked:
I yanked out a few nose hairs yesterday with fingers now my left nostril feels sore & tender. not sure ingrown hair, pimple or trauma. how to treat it?

Most likely just: trauma, I would use topical antibiotic ointment just to protect against infection. Should resolve within a week, if not see your doctor
