What Causes Blisters On The Nose While Suffering From A Tooth Infection?

I seem to always have a tooth infection going on as I have 5 crowns in my mouth (all molars) and I get food trapped. I also seem to get staff type blisters on my nose and in some cases, when I gently squeeze my nose to bring them to a head I get unusual bleeding. Could these outbreaks on my nose be a staff infection or some type of systemic infection related to my teeth?

hi sir/mam,your nose blisters may not be related to teeth infection.the following are the probable causes:
1)acne vulgaris(pimples)
2)carbuncles caused by staph.
squeezing or rubbing over the blister shouldn't be done as it results in spread as well of secondary infections.you must have a physician visit in the following cases:
1)associated high grade fever
2)if it persists for more than 2 weeks.
3)if facial areas are affected as it can cause speed of infection to brain sinuses.
diabetes,any immunocompromised conditions are risk factors.
treatment options are
1)antibiotics topical and oral if necessary.
2)analgesics like NSAIDs.
3) anti-bacterual soaps
4) clean, warm , moist cloth has to be put on the blisters for atleast 3 mins each time . It helps in better drainage.
Hope my answer is clear. other health issues if any, kindly let me know . Thank you. take care bye .
