blisters

[lizard123]

i have been getting painful blisters in my nose for quite some time. i now have one in my ear.

Hello,

Blister in ear and nostril can be due to an infected hair follicle causing folliculitis or herpes zoster/shingles blisters if they are painful. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as Neosporin and Bactroban are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

my neighbor had that same thing happen to him and it ended up being shingles, so u might need to get it looked at . shingles are curable but if not taken care of it can be deadly
