How To Treat A Nasal Infection?
Hello. I have a small place on my nose (similar to a bump) but it will not go away. It has been there now for around two weeks. Initially there was a very small amount of infection, and I treated it as a white head, but it won t heal.....the infection keeps returning(very little infection) and it looks pale, or blanched. Thank you.

You can use pain reliever as Ibuprofen 400 mg two times a day, or Tylenol. You also need antibiotics for some days.
