What Could Be The Treatment For Red And Itchy Nose?
I noticed my nose became red and itchy after wiping it a lot with tissues. I thought I'd just rubbed it raw, but now there are tiny almost pussy looking blisters on the underside of my nose and its red and swollen. Im worried it may be some type of infection. Is this something that can be treated with over the counter medication or should I let my doctor check it out? Thanks

Hi
This sounds like cellulitis--a skin infection and you should see a doctor about it since you'll need a course of antibiotics
