Suggest Remedy For Infection In Nose Post Rhinoplasty
Ok About 15 years ago I had rhinoplasty because my sinuses were too small to drain. Since then, I get small pockets of infection at the upper corner of my nose from time to time. My septum is now terribly inflamed and very painful, could this be cancer?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The inflamed upper corner of the nose can be secondary to allergic rhinitis or it can be because of bacterial infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. It does not look like cancer. Nothing to worry. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin(if you are not allergic).
I hope i have answered your query. Take care
