biopsied years ago as "negative" seems to resurface in Winter....I know I should not keep removing it.

No, katiemac85....no infection.....its caused by dryness.....please have your Dr prescribe it for you...it works....just dab a little inside your nostrils.

katiemac85, I can only tell you that absolutely NOTHING has worked to remove the crustiness/scab like material over the past 7 years until the mupirocin 2%.....and the Dr.said she loves to prescribe this for the condition.
