Tip of nose: Excruciating *PAIN*

[Babs145]

For the past week or so I've been experiencing nose bleeds, open sores in my nose and swelling and pain on the tip of my nose(on the left side). The sores and bleeding is only in the left nostril. My nose bleeds aren't free flowing. It's more like a small amount of blood that appears when I blow my nose.

My left nostril(on the tip) is very firm and the pain is sometimes excruciating. I thought it might possibly be a pimple under my skin that wasn't surfacing at first. (that's how it feels anyway)

Has anyone ever experienced this?

So, like everyone, I have this same problem. I work outdoors and my nose gets really dirty inside. When I get home the first thing I would do would be blow my nose really good and then wipe it out with a tissue until it was completely dry! Then during the winter while running the heater my nose got even drier, causing it to crack on the inside up in the tip. Then there was a sore every day and I would pick it off every day and it hurt so bad. I did some reseach and also discovered it was probably a staph infection and the only thing that cured it was Bactroban (aka Mupricocin, i may have spelled this wrong.) Anyway, I happened to have this prescription ointment on hand for some bug bites my son had gotten. I put it on the sore twice a day with a q-tip and two-three days later..... ALL BETTER! Thank god! Ask your doc about Bactroban!

I get the same symptoms, like an under the skin spot, or something sharp pricking the inside of my nose, which goes red & hurts so much that it sends a shock through my body if I touch it.

Having read this whole thread I really feel that plucking nose hairs is the cause, for me anyway. I'd never even considered it & therefore failed to mention to my GP (& he never asked) so I'm hoping that resisting the temptation, plus the course of prescribed antibiotics is going to sort it, once & for all...
