Thank you for your query.
1. You may have to rephrase your question or explain in detail as to what your 'nose skin out problem' is. This will be very helpful. You may also email a close-up photograph of your nose and nostrils to YYYY@YYYY with 'Attn: Dr. Sumit Bhatti' as the subject line or you have a feature of uploading the photos on your own on the right side of the query box. Please do confirm the mailing or uploading of the photos by writing here as to reply you back at the earliest.
2. Assuming that you are referring to dry flaky skin in the nostrils, you may have developed vestibulitis. Apply Betnovate GM ointment locally in the nostrils.
3. I would like to know few more things which would help me in suggesting you better:
- Have you ever had blood stained nasal discharge?
- Do you suffer from frequent cold, allergy or sinusitis?
- Is there any local redness or pain?
- Is the skin fleshy or flaky?
- Do you have any other medical condition such as diabetes? Any family history of diabetes?
I would like to give you specific suggestions after knowing the answers to the above questions and also after seeing the photo.
Awaiting your answers.
Regards.


i attached 2 images of my nose skin out..small small skin only comes out my nose.. i need to remove it whenever it comes, otherwise it will look bad...(skin is around my nose)

Thank you for writing back and sending the images.
1. It seems to be nasal dermatitis or vestibulitis, probably fungal, with dry flaky skin. Do you have to work in an air-conditioned environment for long hours?
2. Just apply the Betnovate GM ointment regularly and follow up in two weeks.
3. Have a multi-vitamin such as Centrum Silver 50+ once a day.
4. It will be worthwhile to arrange for a local skin specialist to see this condition, if possible.

1. I was about to mention that your images were of very low resolution.
2. You may use these medications for two weeks.
3. If there is no improvement, and since these images are not yours, kindly arrange for a local skin specialist to see this condition.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Regards.
