What Is The Cause Of White Skin Buildup Inside Nostrils?
Hey there. I have this white skin that keeps building up on the inner sides of both of my nostrils. It almost looks like a scab, but it's very white in color. There is nothing inside of it, just built up skin, I think? It hurts everyday. It's getting worse. What do you think this is? It may go up higher in my nose than just where I see it, but I'm not sure.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As per your history white skin inside your nostril may be due to fungal infection, it may be due to allergies or some sort of cyst.
Since it is white in colour most probably due to candidiasis.It can spread to the upper part of the nose also.
I would suggest you to take some antifungal medications and consult a ENT specialist for further Treatment.
Thank you.
