I have the same type of sores in my nose now! They were the first thing to show up,.. the following morning when I woke up, they had reached my throat.. The doctor said it was strep throat, and the nurse practitioner says its something called MRSA. I should get the swab results back on Monday! Everything I have read, and all the pictures I have seen, do suggest that this is MRSA after-all.. You have to tell the doctor to swab the nose because this can be a very fatal thing! They have started me on Bactrim DS oral antibiotic and a cream called mupirocin 2% ointment 22GM that you put in the nose with a q-tip.. These sores quickly spread to my neck and are now in my back under the skin as well! My son came home from school with a cut from another child, and a week later developed blisters over that very cut. Then we later found out that boy who cut my son has MRSA and that's how I got it. Please stop touching them, you spread it this way!

Please do go to the ER! Tell them you have no insurance, and if you cant afford the bill let them know, you can let them know that you suspect it may be MRSA. Also I have found out that you can go to your local health department and they have to test and treat you for this. (FOR FREE)   I am sure it's driving you insane, I'm right there beside you in that! I suggest that you research the Internet on this.. It may be in your better interest, to know what is, or what may be going on inside of you!

This is a sentence from the site I'm listing here for you!

S. aureus most commonly colonizes the anterior nares (the nostrils), although the respiratory tract, opened wounds, intravenous catheters, and urinary tract are also potential sites for infection.
