I'm serious! The skin on the outside of my nostrils got all chapped as though I have been blowing my nose a lot (no runny or stuffed nose)... and then the bottom outside of my nostrils close to my lip got sore and swollen. This is all unprovoked -- I haven't been sick, had sinus problems, or had any allergy issues.

Is my nose dying??!

My DH the dermatology PA says it sounds like it *could* be impetigo. It is a superficial bacterial infection of the skin. He can't be sure unless he saw it though. He recommends that you go see a doctor.

I knew you ladies were the ones to ask. Thanks Kyle! And where the heck have you been??? I haven't seen you around (though I have known to be quite blind to things right in front of me). Hope you are doing well.

@ your nose dying!

I hope you get it figured out! Is it any better today?

when I blow my nose too much and I get the raw nostrils and that little dip above my lip, I use the berts bee's chapstick - soooo soothing!!

[*krista*]

No, it's not really better... but ooooo chapstick sounds like it would feel sooooo good. Thanks for the idea Bethy!

My daughter gets that right before she gets sick! I hope you're not coming down with anything!
