good information

1. his is not sometimes the most fun subject to talk about, but it is common to kids and adults. I would venture to say that at least 75% of these
common "sores" inside the nose come from one of these two causes:
1. Picking the nose, and getting the numerous staph and other bacteria off your fingernail in the nose membrane where it festers and then becomes
so sore you get tears if you touch it 1-2-3 days later.... OR
2. Trimming or (some do) pulling (ouch!) long nose hairs out if you are a man, and in the process, either getting a small cut or nick inside the nose,
which then gets abit infected, or the hair follicle (s) gets infected, ending in the same reslt--a really sore spot inside the nose (or more than one).
The nose has so many nerve endings and is so vascular that it is easy to get both an infection and also a very SORE and painful nose. This is why
when a person gets hit in the nose it hurts so much and their eyes tear. It's just very, very sensitive nerve wise.
Treatment for me and MOST others, according to my doctor, are to keep from picking the nose (use a Q Tip CAREFULLY or blow it, or do anything
else but insert what is always a finger with MANY thousands of microscopic bacteria on or under the nail where you cannot get them clean)
because you will often solve a temporary problem and cause a more painful one. Flush the inside of the nose out with saline spray or put peroxide
diluted or not on a Q Tip, and clean the inside part of the nostril inside well, but gently. Then apply a small amount of Neosporin or other topical
antibiotic "over the counter" cream or ointment to the affected areas. Ask your doctor on this if you feel the need, and also be SURE you are not
allergic to the antibiotic you are putting on the sore areas. If you are allergic to the "sporin" family in pill form, you will surely be allergic to the topical
form as well.
The inside membrane of the nose is very, very vascular, so anything put in there will quickly absorb (for better or worse) into the system. That is
obviously why drug users put cocaine in their nose! It gets into their blood stream VERY quickly. Well, good to get the antibiotic working fast also.
Just be sure it is something you know you can tolerate, and do not continue to use it if you get burning or itching or ANY other side effect other than
soothing. In 2-4 days, you should have a much less sore nose, and it should then go away, as long as you do not do what you did to cause another
sore again.
This treatment should work for anyone unless they have a serious problem that is not responsive to topical anti-bacterial ointments or creams, in
which case go to an ENT doctor or dermatologist and have them look at it. The nose interior can get very infected and spread up into the sinuses,
and then you have even more problems than you did originally.
We tell kids to not pick their noses. So why do we do it as adults?
am a nurse in a dermatology clinic and I haven't read all of the posts on this topic. One did stand out with regards to using Neosporin on the nose sore. He had said
if you are allergic to any ointment in the "sporin" family that you most likely won't be able to use any of the antibiotic ointments. That is not really true.
There is Neosporin and its active ingredient is Neomycin. We have found that a lot of our patients are allergic to this. A lot of times what happens is a patient starts
treating a cut or a scrape with Neosporin over a period of days and then after multiple exposures to the ointment the allergy appears. We don't reccommend
Neosporin that much to our patients due to the high chance of an allergy occurring.
Polysporin is one of our favorites with the active ingredient being Polymycin. If you are allergic to Neosporin (Neomycin) you can use Polysporin, just as long as
you are not allergic to the Polymyxin in Polysporin.
Beware of the Triple Antibiotic Ointment. This ointment has both Neomycin, Polymyxin and Bacitracin. So if you are allergic to any of those ingredients...stay
away. Always make sure to tell you doctor if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the antibiotic ointments.
The last ointment that seems to work for everyone is Bactroban. It is a precription ointment, but it works really well. I hope this all works.
agree go to the doctor. We normally have staph in our nose...you know the same satph germ that the kids are getting in schools and are dying from,
or the same staph that is rampant in the hospitals from people not washing their hands. And then there is the MRSA: Methacillin Resistant Staph
Aureus, it the kind we don't want and can linger up there too. Don't pick your nose is good advice. Also good advice is not putting the petroleum
based products up the nose..in fact should NEVER be done with oxygen...normally the staph we have in our nose can be handled by the body but
when it can't we get infections like a little crusty sore telling us we have too much staph, the bactroban is only available from the MD and it should
be the NASAL bactroban. This is a treatment many doc's are using also right before surgery to cut down on staph infections post op.
It's probably the best treatment listed here.

I get them sometimes. They can occur because or irritation at the base of a hair follicle - maybe from trimming or a booger getting picked. Allergies
or poor air can do it, too.
After a warm shower, clean your nose. Pick it, and wash it with water. Next use a saline nose spray. Don't sniff it up like you would normally do. Get
it wet in the nose. Wipe it around with a cotton swab. Do it again. After it dries a bit, apply neosporin with pain relief with a cotton swab.
Basically, keep cleaning with the saline and applying the neosporin. It has helped me a lot. I work in a lot of smokey bars in heavily polluted cities

Here's what worked for me:
For about three weeks, I had sores inside my nose - they really hurt and I had no idea how I got them or what they were (staph, impetigo, etc.). The
sores were so big I couldn't breathe through my nose.
I hate going to doctors and using medicine, so I decided to try an experiment.
I peeled a couple of cloves of fresh garlic (a natural antibiotic) and minced them with a garlic press (you could just chop them into tiny pieces with a
knife if you don't have a press). I mixed this with a bit of olive oil to buffer the burn of the garlic, then mixed in a tiny bit of flour to make a paste. I
stuffed this concoction up my nose, then plugged both nostrils with cotton (you could use kleenex). Then I pinched my nose shut so the garlic would
be sure to make contact with all the inside surfaces of my nose. It burned a bit, but I figured the burn was what was making it work. After about 15
minutes of pinching, I got all the garlic concoction out of my nose and rinsed with water.

2. By the time I woke up the next day, a LOT of the soreness was already gone! Over the next few days the sores started to dry up (be sure to leave
them completely alone so they can heal) and after about 3-4 days, I could tell the scabs were starting to peel at the edges and were ready to come
off, so I gave them a little help. A tiny bit of bleeding happened, but not much at all.
Even though I had intended to do the garlic thing for several days, I got busy and just did it the one time. Now it's only been about 6 days, and my
nose is completely healed. I can't even believe it myself . . . garlic is powerful stuff! Be sure to use fresh garlic - you want it to have the most potent
"stuff" in it to do the job.
The whole thing cost me less than a dollar since I already had olive oil, but even if you have neither garlic nor olive oil on hand, the cost of both is
less than $10. PLUS no doctor visi
