General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problem your dad is having is furuncle in the nostril. It must be recurring again and again due to persistent of infection.
Also, kindly check weather your dad is diabetic by getting his fasting blood glucose and post-prandial blood glucose checked.
In case he is not diabetic, you need to take a swab from the lesion and get its culture and sensitivity test done. Accordingly, appropriate course of antibiotics need to be taken for its cure.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
