How Can Painful Nose Sores Be Treated?
I have nose sores that are taking there sweet time to heal. It s been 2 weeks of painful cut n beading and collection of crusty when I clear it out. Tea Tree oil itself is of coarse too strong by itself. Can coconut oil or jojoba oil be a carrier oil?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.
Since the sores are taking much time to heal, application of tea tree oil, coconut or jojoba may not be the best as the sores may have been infected. I will suggest you see your Doctor for evaluation and to judge the need for a penicillin group of antibiotic like cloxacillin.Also, regular cleaning with an anti-septic solution like cyteal may be help.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health.You may write back if more concerns.
Best regards
