Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be recurrent furunculosis/ Dermatitis herpetiformis etc.
A good quality antibiotic like fusidic acid /mupirocin over the affected areas is helpful.Application of antibiotic in nasal cavity is also required
A skin biopsy may be required for diagnosis.
Please visit a qualified dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
