Hi mochi

I once had horrible scabs up my nose. It was a form of herpes, like the cold sore virus. Not sure which country you're in but if it's the USA I think you maybe call cold sores something different from the UK.

I suffer with lots of allergies too which can instantly result in a blocked up nose. Wasn't sure what you meant by 'bllesing'.

2 years is a heck of a long time to take antibiotics!

Have you been to see an ear, nose & throat specialist? Think that's what I'd do if I were in your situation.

Best wishes.

scary! herpes in your nostirls? how did you treat it, I don;t have insurance, sdo i haven;t had these looked at sinc ehtey started like half a ywear ago, so i am getting worried....
my nostils are always scabbing and bleeding for no apparent reason, and it is not from my sinueses necassrily, just directly in my nostrils,
i beklive it may bave been a reaction to mold, because , well all this started just after i moved into a new house in a very wet and damp place....
it has improved soem since i moved out, but sometimes works up evey so often, and i sem to be developing hay fever, sneezing alloy,ect but i didn;t have this when i was younger, what gives????

It's your ongoing infection that is causing it. Have you had a sinus CT scan? If they antibiotics aren't working, you might need sinus surgery.
