Brief Answer:
Impetigo
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you have had this blister that is bothering your nose area. This sounds like you have impetigo which is a skin infection. Typically topical antibiotics work but in your case it no longer is helping. I recommend that you see your medical provider for an oral course of antibiotics, a sulfa drug preferred. Only with the oral antibiotic will this infection resolve.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
