Today, i looked up my nose using a torch and my nostrils are red with rawness and there s puss globules everywhere- should i go to my doctor?

Hello
Yes , you should go to your doctor as it looks like you have developed an infection and will need antibiotics for it. For the time being you can apply mupirocin ointment over the pus globules , but please meet your doctor soon.
