What Causes Skin Peeling Inside The Nostrils?

The inside of my nostrils have been peeling, they seem moist but the skin look dead and cut up. I have never had hay fever before so i dought it could be because of that. Also when i wake up my nose is covered in a crusty mucus like layer and it os really dry and irritant. What is it and what can i do to get rid of it?

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

The normal mucous secretion to keep the nostrils moist has been disturbed due to an acute infection. If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you Clarithromycin antibiotic class of drug (needs prescription from local physician), plus Ibuprofen by mouth, plus Loratadine by mouth. Also add Saline Nasal Spray to keep the area moist and avoid dryness. It will all be ok and you will be doing good in a couple of days.


If ever you feel the aforementioned treatment isn't working any more for you, consult an Ottorhinolaryngologist. But this is very less likely that you may need this.


Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
