What Could Be Done To The Sore On The Nose Which Is Scaly And Red?

I have a sore on my nose that has been there for a few months. It is scaly and red, it is now starting to weep and is uncomfortable. I do have an appointment to see my dermatologist but it isn t for another month. Is there anything that I can do and should I try to get a sooner appointment?

hi! in your case some small skin lesion has been infected and being only one in number, not to worry much but take some cold compress and some antibiotic cream or povidone-iodine lotion and wait for 2/3 days.

if not improving do not hesitate to write to us.

wish you the best health!
