Drug Abuse
Drugs that can be inhaled through the nose, such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines, can cause serious damage to a person's nose. Irritation and scabbing are not uncommon when using these types of drugs, especially if used excessively.
Excessive drug abuse can also lead to more serious problems concerning the nose. These include tears or perforations to the septum inside the nasal area, leading to tissue death, known as necrosis, and holes in the nose.
