Infections
Infections, such as nasal vestibulitis, can result in sores in the nose. Picking or blowing the nose excessively can expose the nose to the bacteria that cause infection. Nasal vestibulitis can also occur from plucking nose hair and nose piercings.2hicks, Rhashad. ‘Medical News Today: What to know about nasal vestibulitis.’Central Alabama Wellness, centralalabamawellness.org/2020/01/07/’medical-news-today-what-to-know-about-nasal-vestibulitis
Symptoms can include pain or swelling and tenderness around the infected area. Topical antibiotic creams, such as bacitracin ointment or mupirocin, can be used to help relieve symptoms.3‘Mupirocin (Nasal Route) Proper Use.’ Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/mupirocin-nasal-route/proper-use/drg-20064917.
