Noticed Dark Ring Over Bridge Area Of Nose. Is This The Sign Of Sinus?
Question: HI JUST RECENTLY NOTICED DARK RING OVER THE BRIDGE AREA OF MY NOSE, IS THAT A SIGN OF SINUS? NOSTRIL FEEL LIKE ITS CLOSING ON AT NIGHT.
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
A dark ring over the external surface on the bridge of the nose does not necessarily mean a sinus infection. The blocked nose can be due to sinusitis or rhinitis.
Simple measures like steam inhalation with Karvol plus nasocaps, thrice a day, will help you.
Is it possible for you to send across a picture of the lesion over the nose? You have a feature to upload the reports / image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better.
Please consider taking Tab. Zyrtec 10mg at bedtime for next 2 days. It is available over the counter in US.
You should be fine soon.
Awaiting your response.
