What Causes Skin To Peel From Inside The Nostrils?

why does the inside of my nose keep on peeling? It s really bad, it s peeling and bloody and has been this way for a really long time, and every time it heals, it just starts peeling and bleeding and scabbing all over again. Why is this happening and what should I do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
The lining of the nasal cavity is soft and delicate. Excessive pressure alone can make it uncomfortable to bear and can end up bleeding. Most nose problems and conditions occur on the lining of the nose because of any trauma, infection or even change in climate.

Saline sprays: The purpose of these treatments is to keep your nose moist and prevent further worsening or growing of scabs.
Topical antibiotic ointments such as Neosporin and bacitracin will also help heal any bacterial infection that is causing the problem.

Topical treatments, antibiotics and nasal sprays may be used to treat the sores and crusty wounds. However, you should not try putting nasal sprays in your nose especially if it is bleeding or showing signs of wounding.
