Reoccurring Nasal fissure that has actually deformed the nostril shape

Hi @angelak43, I can see that this is extremely distressing and that you're seeking professional medical help. Now you're casting the net in this patient forum to see if anyone else may have a similar experience or suggestions.
Has your ENT referred to the fissure as nasal vestibulitis? See more here:
- What to know about nasal vestibulitis https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327427
"Nasal vestibulitis tends to be a benign condition. However, in rare cases, it can spread to other areas of the body. For this reason, a person should seek prompt treatment."
Are you also in the care of a gastroenterologist?

I get these paper cut like fissures in exact same spot every November/December. Must be due to heating coming on and drying me out. Edge of nose hurts a lot and I apply almond or argan oil and keep in moist which helps. Your info was great to read for now I know I better seek help if it doesn’t go away. In past, I did have anal fissure and doctor ignored when I looked for help, and so it became an anal fistula which resulted in two surgeries.

Thank you for this reply. Yes I filled a script for a cream that is supposed to kill the bacteria for vestibulitus. My condition is not that unfortunately and was unsuccessful with the ointment many times.
I am in the care of GI doctors too, as well as colorectal surgeon keeping an eye on rectal fissure. I feel like I’m not getting real solutions with them just surgery recommendations. Surgery is very last resort for me in any medical situation. :(.
