Suggest Treatment For Sore Inside The Nose
I have had a sore in my nose on the right side for about 6 months.. At first I thought it was due to being dry in the house because we burn wood but now I am not so sure. We haven t been burning wood for 3 weeks and it has really flared up and is very red in there.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a cold sore.
Although cold sores are most common around the mouth, they can appear in other places, including inside the nose. Cold sores result from an infection of the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
I suggest using an antiviral cream for local application such as Acyclovir cream.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
