A member asked:
I have painful scabs on the inside of both nostrils. they haven't gone away for over a month now. what could this be?

Nose: If you dont pick your nose, often it can be from drying out of the nose because of air conditioning or dry heat. Start with an OTC antibiotic ointment to that dry area two to three times a day. If not helpful, see an ent for an exam and culture
