Big Open Sore Under The Nose, Peeling And Itches A Lot. Taking Antibiotics, Condition Worsened. Suggestion?
Hello, My nose started by peeling now that i ve noticed the top layer is gone its like a big open sore its red and peeling and itches and burns alot there is also clear fluid covering my entire nose and the area around it, i am now using antibiotic ointment but that makes the leaking worse and eventually dries up to become yellow crunchy residue which is very noticable and irritating what should i do?
Nose is a very sensitive area and its a gateway for entrance of different organisms so you need to treat it carefully with oral antibiotics.I would suggest you use amoxycillin with clavulanic acid three times per day for five days and also use combination of topical antibiotics with mild steroids. that will help you. Dont try to pull off the crust
