I have a strange sore on my nose -- anybody know what this is? (see details)!
Question: I have a strange sore on my nose -- anybody know what this is.? (see details)
Over the last 6 months or so, I have gotten a sore like this, 4 times.. There is a scab on the inside, and it is EXTREMLY teneder to the touch.. Like I hit it on my pillow one morning, and it stung so bad, it made my eyes water.. (not cry, water........ like onions)
Ussualy anti-biotic ointment has helped it heal quick before.. This time, it seemed just like the other times, and i have been doing the anti-biotic ointment, and it seemed to be getting better -- but in the last, day it has gotten way more swollen than the other times -- while very strangely, getting LESS tender.. So it's not as sore now, but it's this huge bump on my nose..
Does anyone know what this is, and/or if there is anything i can do aside from anti-biotic ointment.?
Here is a link to a collage of pics..

Lovely pictures!..
I don't know what it is as I'm not medically trained but it looks like a boil.. Try holding a hot flannel (as hot as you can stand) on it, this may bring it to a head and it should either burst or soften..
If it doesn't go over the weekend go and see a doctor, you may need antibiotics to shift it..Health Question & Answer
