I also have the same problem and I usually get this more often in the spring and summer so I think, for me, it is allergy related.  I usually use a dab of Polysporin (antibiotic ointment) to help and it does.\n\nThe site listed has a lot of info on this subject.  Hope it helps!

they can cauterize your blood vessels in your nose, which will help prevent nosebleeds.  My brother gets them a lot, because we live in the desert, and the air is really dry.  One thing that helps is if you put a Q-tip into a jar of Vaseline (or maybe put Neosporin on it) and then swab the insides of your nose every morning and night.  It really helps.  I used to get nosebleeds a lot when I was on a medicine called Accutane (it dries your whole body out really bad -- it's for acne), and I used to do that.

Sinus specific or just a simple Upper Respiratory Infection (AKA "Cold")?  If you tap just below and above your eyes on the bony pominences, does it cause excruciating pain, what if you just apply a small amount of pressure to those same areas?  HAve you been suffering bloody noses?  How are your ears?  Pain in your teeth?  If you take simple over the counter cold medications, does it help?  If you have pain, frequent bloody noses and cold med.s just don't seem to help.  If you have fever chills and or night sweats, you should consider seeking professional medical help.  I'd send you my bill, but I'm retired.

saline to moisten the nose and drink lots of water, gargle, and steam and do this every day. I've got year round allergies and I empathize with you.:O)

Your doctor can give you a prescription that can help it to go away and then began using it at the very first tingle if you feel one coming on again.  I have never heard the food connection to a cold sore.  Illness, stress, sun exposure are all things I have heard.  But, if you keep getting them, you definetly should be replacing toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash after every time or at least sanitizing them with boiling water.  Also are you using the same makeup, makeup aplicator or if you are male the same shaver, be sure and sanatize everything.  Change your pillow cases, anything that might have come in contact with your mouth, clean it or throw it out and start over.  Hope these tips help.  And sometimes if you are just run down and have been sick, your body has to rebuild and you might have several in a row.  I know I have.  Nothing over the counter will do the job like the stuff the doc. can prescribe, but it isn't cheap....:)  There is a prescription cream the doc can give you called Zovirax and it does help cold sores...

Yes, think about it; if you have an infection under your toenail isn't it warm?  If you have a pimple inside your nose don't you feel heat, even though you can't see it.  Thererfore fever, ie warm temp is accompanied with infection, where ever there is infection there will be fever or tempreture.  It' s called "itis" such as laryngitis, stomatitis etc.  \n\nItis (warmth) can also be caued by inflammation, ie wear an tear, you may have heard of tendonitis, or bursitis...these are not infective processes, they are wear and tear realated processes.  \n\nYou didn't ask but there are different treatments for each, one is designed to fight infection and the other to sooth inflammation.\n\nAs for your fingers, they are very tender, sensitive little guys, often taken forgranted.  When you hurt one you notice how important they are.  They are very sensitive, with loads of nearve endings, they generally stay cool to temp unless you hurt one then they warm up.  Also since they are at the end of your arms, and generally are hanging down they are subject to dependent edema, and swelling.  At nite time sleep with your hand elevated, that will help to lift the infection, but you will need to see a md probably.  You can try soaking your hand in warm epson salt water, for 15 min, before bed and then elevate.  Also dry the finger and apply some over the counter antibiotic cream.  If this local tx. doesn't work you may need oral antibiotics.

I am confused, did you cut yourself recently there and it's still trying to heal or you cut yourself awhile back? Either way it might very well be a cold sore. If that's the case get some Abreva from a drug store. If your really not sure that its a cold sore to begin with ask a doctor or the pharmacist that works at your drug store...for the most part those people are happy to advise.

inside the mouth such sores are called canker sores and are usually related to some sort of injury to the mucous membranes.  Rinse with antibacterial mouth wash twice daily and it will resolve on it's own.

I've never had anything in my mouth like that, but my little brother, who is not so little anymore at 21 years old, had braces when he was 12-15.  Yes, he had them on for 3 years!  And the orthodontist tried to convince him to keep them on another year!  But, I digress, he had an extremely annoying thing that happened to him.  It was actually quite painful.  I'll start by saying, he was in karate, so he was always getting knocked in the face.  After about 6 months of having them, he started getting these awful canker sores.  Every time the braces cut his cheeks or if he got hit, he would get a new sore.  He eventually got a good medicine that took care of them, but for about 2 years, he always had sores all over the inside of his cheeks and the inside and outside of his lips.  And since the infections on his cheeks were touching his gums, he got them there too.  He couldn't stand having braces and sores.  When he was at home, he would keep peroxide soaked cotton balls in his cheeks. He looked really funny.  But I didn't make fun of him because I knew how bad just one small sore in your mouth can hurt.  I couldn't imagine having huge chronic canker sores all through my mouth for 2 years straight!

Swollen lymph nodes indicate an infection.  If I had to guess, I'd suspect the nose piercing caused a sinus infection.  Further, I'd check into the rash being an allergic reaction to the metal in the jewelry.  Just a thought.\n\nIn the meantime, to relieve your suffering with the ear pain, try applying heat to the area.  Dampen a towel and heat it in the microwave, then lay your sore ear on the warmed towel.  Nasal decongestants may also help relieve sinus pressure. Take Tylenol for fever and body aches.  Go to see the doctor this time and tell him your condition has worsened.  The LNP might have missed something or else you have a combination of ailments.\n\nFYI: Herpes outbreaks occur either on or surrounding the mouth or in the genital region.  Shingles occur most often around the waist, but have also been known to appear on the head and neck.  They are normally red in color and quite painful.

You can get special mattresses which prevent the sores, otherwise it is sudocrem and massage.  Good luck.

(m)\n\nCold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, which is believed to lie dormant in certain nerve cells of the body until it is activated by stress, anxiety, a cold, or excessive exposure to the sun. The sores last anywhere from 7 to 14 days.\nAlthough some use the terms "cold sore" and "canker sore" interchangeably, they are different. Unlike cold sores, canker sores are bacterial infections inside the mouth that are characterized by small, round, white areas surrounded by a sharp halo of red. And, while cold sores are highly contagious, canker sores are not.\n\nUnfortunately, attempting to camouflage a cold sore with makeup often aggravates the problem. Still, while you can't do much about the way a cold sore looks, you can do a few things to help decrease discomfort, speed healing, and keep it from coming back. You can even take steps to prevent passing on your cold sore to others. Here's how:\n\n1. Cover cold sores with a protective petroleum-based product. This will speed healing and help protect it from secondary infection with bacteria.\n\n2. Reach for aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Cold sores can be quite painful. Over-the- counter painkillers can help.\n\n3. Avoid salty or acidic foods. Foods such as potato chips or citrus fruits can further irritate cold sores and add to the pain.\n\n4. Apply an over-the-counter anesthetic. A local anesthetic ointment containing benzocaine can help numb the pain temporarily.\n\n5. Consult your health-care provider. If you have frequent or severe cold sores, see your doctor. In some cases, an antiviral medication called acyclovir can be prescribed.\n\n6. Protect your lips from the sun. Applying sunscreen to your lips may help prevent sun-induced recurrences of cold sores. Look for a sunscreen designed especially for the lips that has an SPF of 15 or higher. Or, choose a lipstick that contains sunscreen.\n\n7. Keep it to yourself. Cold sores are extremely contagious. Avoid kissing and sharing cups, towels, or other such items. Wash your hands frequently, especially after touching cold sores. And take care not to touch your eyes or genitals immediately after touching cold sores.

It sounds like Impetigo-a bacterial skin infection from the irritation of the runny nose.  Put some neosporin on it 2 or 3 times a day.  Don't pick at it.  Wash your hands after blowing your nose.  If it does not get better-you will need an antibiotic.

You should put some triple antibiotic cream on the affected area.  Don't use vaseline, it is petroleum based and will make a great breeding ground for bacteria. Try and leave the area affected open for short periods of time to let the air help you heal.

you might have gotten bit by something and were unaware of it at the time or you could have possible come into contact with something your allergic to.\n\ntry applying benadryl or hydrocortisone cream to the area and see if that helps.\n\nyou can also try using some ice (make sure to wrap the ice pack in a washcloth so it's not directly touching the skin). ice it for about 10 minutes and then apply the cream.\n\nif it doesn't go away within 24-48 hours, or starts to hurt worse or increase in size-then make an appt to see your dr.

Your nose is actually one of the most germ-ridden places on the human body, as the air we breathe through is full of impurities, such as pollution from car fumes etc. Also, lots of bacteria find the nose a good breeding place as it is quite warm and moist.\n\nI get these spots, too, and I can't resist temptation to burst them. However this isn't the best course of action, as more germs get into the popped spot, and cause it to inflame again. The best thing to do is try and leave it alone, and perhaps put some antiseptic cream on it until it goes away.
