Scabby nose?!


Question: Sorry, this is gonna sound awful but I've had a scab in my nose for a couple of weeks now. Everytime I blow it there's blood on the tissue and it keeps reforming and gets sore.
Could it be some kind of vitamin deficiency? My diet is very poor.

A lot of nasty bugs live in the nose [mrsa, c dif], so its best to see a doctor. A poor diet will lower your immunity to these bugs.

You might have an infection, best to see the doctor

i dunno what it is, but i had that problem recently... it could be a change in temperature where you live... im not sure.. but i put vaseline or carmax on it and its gone.. good luck

Could be impetigo - highly contagious, get to the pharmacist or preferably your doctor, particularly if you come into contact with children.

make a trip to the doctors

Its sounds like coldsore you can get them on your lip or face or in your nose and they really are sore. Coldsores are a virus that lyes dormant in your body until your immune system is low for example I always get them after having a cold, the doctor doesnt generally give you anything as I have tried before, maybe take some vitimins just to give yourself a boost.

Continual nose picking means the scabs never heal, eventually they become permanent leaking sores. As you get older you might have serious problems with nose bleeds.
