Sores in my nose?

Question

For the past months I have been getting sores in my nose. They don't feel or look like cold sores/herpes like I used to get on my lip years ago. They are in both nostrils, quite near to the front. They don't hurt a lot but when I pick them (can't help it) they hurt a bit. They feel a bit like a regular spot. When I have picked them, they scab over especially overnight. They dissapear for a week or a few weeks or days and then they come back. What could this be?

Answer 1

these could be cold sores caused by the herpes virus. don't touch them -use a qtip to appy the Valtrex or neosporin. wash your hands well. follow up with your doctor.

Answer 2

This sounds like a recurrent staph infection. See your doctor, this is very hard to get rid of by yourself, you need anti-biotics to help you, then, keep your fingers away from your nose, this is how you keep it alive.
