Nose sore

I had a runny nose and I blew it too much and I noticed it was getting a red and skin was coming off my left nostril inside . It was pretty sore so I put antiseptic on it past couple days and today I woke up and it’s scabbing but yellow and dry . Does that mean it’s infected?

Your nose sore could be from irritation or a mild infection. The yellow scabbing might indicate healing, but it could also suggest an infection.

What to Do:
Keep it moisturized with ointment.
Avoid picking at it.
See a doctor if it worsens or becomes more painful.
