What Causes Rashes And Bumps Under Nostrils?
Hi- my 13 year old has a rash under his nostrils. There are little red bumps but it is not itchy. It does not seem to be responding to mupriocin. That is all we have tried. He does get seasonal allergies and he has had a little bit of a runny nose which we are trying to treat with cetirizine. Can you suggest any thing else we could try ?
