Sores in nose is this a bacterial infection ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Could be bacterial. Could be viral. Could be fingernail. If it is accompanied by discharge and crusting, and if it fails to self resolve after several days to a week, it might be bacterial and require an antibiotic.
