What Causes Sore In The Nostril?

I have a sore inside my nose in one nostril. I believe I have seen a small scab inside. I have had it for several months but it seems to go. That side of my nose seems slightly red and maybe slightly swollen. what might it be? Should I see my family doctor, a nose specialist or a durmatologist?
