Pimple In Nose? Try This Easy Method For Rapid Relief

If you are someone who already has skin problems and suffers from acne breakouts, pimples and blackheads, this makes it more likely that you will suffer the rather painful problem of getting a pimple inside your nows. Because this type of sore place occurs on the membrane inside the nose which is full of tiny blood vessels and nerve endings, it is extremely uncomfortable and you will need to find some effective, pimple treatment to reduce the swelling and deal with the infection.

Sometimes, pimples inside the nose can occur when children with dirty hands and fingernails pick their noses. Unfortunately, this is very likely to introduce bacteria which cause an infection inside the nostril - again this is very painful and distressing for the child.

Men can often cause themselves the discomfort arising from this type of pimple in the nose because they tend to grow hairs inside the nostrils - especially as they get older. As part of personal grooming, many men use nose hair clippers which have very sharp blades which can cut or scratch the membrane in the nostril. Some men actually choose to pluck out hairs from inside their noses (just the thought of that makes my eyes water!) but in this case, often an infection can be started at the root of the hair, inside the follicle. As a result of this, bacteria can soon invade and set up an infection which causes a painful swelling or pimple.

In some cases, the swelling can get very large and completely block the nostril. It can even make the nose swell so much that the problem can be seen when you look in the mirror which is not only extremely painful, but also rather embarrassing.

Fortunately, with a little care, it is easy to treat this type of nose pimple yourself at home. All you need is a salt solution, made by dissolving a small quantity of ordinary table salt in some boiling water and allowing it to cool. Then, using a clean cotton bud, use this solution to gently bathe the sore area inside your nose. If you need to repeat the operation, be sure to use a clean Q Tip every time and never put an already used one back into the clean bowl of saline solution.

After this, you need to remove as much moisture from the sore place as you can so it is easiest to do this with another clean, dry cotton bud. Once you have got the area as dry as you can, use another fresh cotton bud to apply a tiny amount of an antibiotic cream. In case you are allergic to antibiotics or prefer to use only natural treatments, a very small amount of tea tree oil which is naturally antiseptic will also do the trick but may sting a bit.

You need to repeat the treatment twice a day (or as directed if using the antibiotic cream) and this should produce a significant improvement pretty quickly. However, if after a couple of days it is no better or seems to be getting worse, this is the time to check with your health center.

In order to avoid the problem recurring, take additional care if dealing with nose hair and never put anything inside your nostril which could scratch the lining of your nostril and cause another painful spot to develop.
