Sore, tender nose for no apparent reason

[mavericknewt]

2 days ago I woke up to a very sore, tender nose. It feels like I have been hit, but I haven't. I haven't run into anything either. Now it has a dull ache or throbbing. My sinuses seem to be fine, but it feels like my nose is getting worse, it's actually the skin that runs down the brdge of my nose that's in pain.  Please help!  thank you

5 days ago i had same symptoms- felt like id been hit in the nose, bridge of nose very sore. over the weekend it started to swell and get red so i went to urgent care. it is cellulitis- they put me on bactrim and said if it got worse to go to my family dr. immediatley which i had to do the next day. he added another strong antibiodic and said if it wasnt better in 2 days i would be admitted in the hospital and put on iv antibiodics. this is dangerous stuff given its location- you can get it in your eyes and get menegitis.if you think you have it go to your doctor. cellulitis is a staph infection

I have been reading these posts and can't believe there are so many. I woke up December 23rd, 2013 with the severe pain on top and one side of my nose. It was also swollen. No redness. I got in the next day to see a doctor. I have MDS Myleodysplastic Syndromee (bone marrow and blood disease) and my blood cells are very misshapen (too large, too wide, etc.) He said that is why I have this infection.  Great news for Christmas huh? He gave me a prescript for ointment that I put in my nose twice a day and it has helped with the pain and swelling. I am to use if for 5 days. Hopefully you don't have MDS, and just an infection. I have a weakened immune system so he said that is why my body couldn't fight this. Wonder if it has anything to do with my hair falling out ???

I have been suffering for some 20 years - after  trimming nasal hair i start getting sores inside the nose & this can  lead to the outside of the nose - a bit like rudolph - very sore & red - anyhow i new this was because of trimming finally so i had to be very careful with electric trimmers - anyhow - 6 months ago i came I across a product from Nads to wax the nasal hair it came with applicators - so i had to  give it ago ....  can i say all my problems have gone no more red nose - no more pain .. the process is so easy & you only have to do it once every 2-4 weeks - i put a little conditioner in after & i have a very clean nose.. if your a bloke & you have a very sensitive nose then you gotta go to waxing..

Unexplained pain on the bridge of the nose, can be from Shingles. A branch of the trigeminal nerve, called the external nasal nerve, travels down the center of the nose. if you have had chicken pox in the past, the virus can be dormant on this nerve. When the virus becomes active again, you can experience tenderness to extreme pain, followed generally by small blister type eruptions that follow the nerve. Need a prescription for an anti viral medication.

I had soreness on the bridge of my nose for no apparent reason. This is day three and I noticed my nose was starting to get swollen. Went to the doctor was diagnosed with Cellulitis. This is an infection of the skin.  If you are having these symptoms GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR. Who new this was so common?  I am now on antibiotics.
