Rash, Red Sores On Nose, Tiny Blister Spots, Crusty, Oozing Discharge. Causes And Treatment?

I have got a rash on the tip of my nose up to the bridge and a little bit below my nostril . It is red sore and a bit itchy. It seems a bit like hives in places with a couple of tiny yellowheads and tiny blistery looking spots. Between my nostrils at the very tip it is very red and seems to have been weeping as it was a bit crusty this morning. Do you have any ideas.? Thanks.

Hi,

Most probably any infection of the skin near the nose.

Have you had flu or common cold with runny nose recently? - Most probably, due to swiping of that area, you got some kind of infection.

Should take proper hygiene, wash with warm water and gentle soap; apply topical antibiotic cream. If no result, consult a dermatologist.

All the best!
