Suggest Treatment For Sore Inside Nostril

Hi, Months ago... probably about 5 months ago I somehow got a sore inside my nostril. I attributed it to the cold winter and dry air. Well I still have the sore in my nose but its on the inside of my nostril and the center of my nose now! it hurts and it scabs over with these large scabs that are green. Sometimes the sore bleeds. When I blow my nose the scab usually comes off. I do smell a foul odor in my nose. I have tried antibiotic ointment but nothing works. When the scab does come off it burns and the drainage is usually clear with blood in it. Just wondering what I should do??
