Infection in nose
I had nasal folliculitis 3 years ago and it has reoccured near the old infection site 4 days ago. It never completely healed as the skin would break easily since i have sinusitis and prone to allergies. Have been giving hot and cold compresses depending on comfort needed. Also keep doing hot salt water immersion. Need help in speeding the healing.
