What could be causing a sore in my nose that won't go away?

Answer by  nerdgirl (78)

Constant exposure to dry air could cause a sore in your nose. I would suggest using a humidifier to moisten the air and see if it goes away.

You may have a staph infection. Put an over-the-counter antibiotic cream like Bacitracin on a Q-tip. Dab it on the sore twice daily, especially before bedtime.

People need to stop throwing around "Cold Sore" as the answer to EVERYTHING! Go to your doc and have a culture done. Otherwise just use antibacterial ointment and keep the area clean. Do not pick at it, and be gentle when blowing your nose.

Could be a cold sore which spreads easily, do not pick the sore as when it bleeds the sore will spread.

If you have had a cold recently or have allergies it might have to do with your nose being raw from just being blown so much.
