What Is The Cause For Sore And Pain Inside The Nostrils?
For two months now my nostrils have been coated with dried mucus which I remove 3-4 times daily. I have sores inside my nostrils which refuse to heal and they are painful. Please help. This has never happened before. I mean I dont have any known allergies or illnesses that I can relate this to.

Hi,
It seems that you have got congestion in your nose and gives some soreness on the part giving you pain.
Due to habit of removing crusts from nose it precipitates congestion and does not allow soreness to heal.
Take some decongestant medicine for 2-3 days.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
