What Causes A Small Sore On The Side Of Nose?
I have a very small sore on the side of my nose. My primary care doctor gave me an antibiotic ointment and it seemed to work. I stopped using it and the sore returned. He wanted me to see a dermatologist if this happened. I had foot surgery about 2 months ago and am wondering if that may be the cause and it if it is cellulitis or the beginning of a basal cell carcinoma

small sores in the side of the nose can be treated with antibiotics but if it is repetitive in nature you consult a dermatologist and he will remove the sore using a laser. so dont worry. hope there is nothing serious to worry about
