A member asked:

I have a sore or something on the cartilage in my nose at it comes and goes ive had it my whole life. what cn i put on it to help it stop hurting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Otolaryngologist: A lesion that has been present for such a long time and is symptomatic should be evaluated by a physician or preferably an otolarnygologist for diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime apply some KY jelly for soothing relief.
