I have a sore on the inside of my right nostril that will not heal. I will have a runny nose when I exercise or go into certain clothing or grocery stores; however, I do not have chronic allergies. Is there anything I can do to heal this sore. It has been here about six months.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Soreness in the nose is usually due to repeated fingerpicking or due to repeated wiping in the nose. Avoid finger picking and apply an antibiotic ointment in the nostrils.
What medicines have you been taking so far for the nasal congestion?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Priyanka Aggarwal
