Rhinitis: Take a dab of antibiotic ointment in a Q tip, gently apply inside of your nostril.It will get better. Bactrban ointment is best. Seeing your doctor is always best.

It may be: an infected hair follicle. Get some antibiotic ointment (eg: Bacitracin) and cover the internal lining of your nostril. Use a Q tip. Apply external heat NB this is a FIRST AID suggestion NOT "treatment" Basic HealthTap (free) does not offer treatment!

See doctor: There are many potential causes but the more common one would include an infection especially for those who pick their noses.
