Maybe this isn't the same thing, but I have gotten nose sores and last time went to the ENT. He cultured it and it was caused by MRSA. A lot of us can have MRSA in the nose without problems, but when you get a sore you can get infected by it. MRSA is essentially a staph infection (that is resistant to many antibiotics). I used a prescription antibiotic ointment and after two weeks, by repeat culture, the MRSA was gone. I now have a new infection in my nose that has started itching like mad. But that's a different story. I hope you all get relief soon.
