Since I’ve been having some difficulties getting a diagnosis for my own nose problems along with the hair loss I am experiencing, I figured the research I have done would be best shared with the cyber community. Maybe you have some of the same problems and this information will help you out.
Nasal impetigo- most cases of impetigo are caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Often people harbor the Staphylococcus bacteria inside their nose and don’t even know it because it does not cause an infection inside the nose. (Ecthyma is an ulcerative form of impetigo.) In some cases it can bring infection in the nasal passages.
Pemphigus foliaceus- an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by blistering of the skin and mucous membranes.
Lupus- SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) is an autoimmune disease that can affect virtually any system in the body. There are many types of lupus and they are discoid lupus, systemic lupus, drug induced lupus, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and neonatal lupus. As many as 30% of patients present with some dermatological symptoms (and 65% suffer such symptoms at some point), with 30% to 50% suffering from the classic malar rash (or butterfly rash) associated with the disease. Patients may present with discoid lupus (thick, red scaly patches on the skin). Alopecia (Hair loss), mouth, nasal, and vaginal ulcers, and lesions on the skin are also possible manifestations.
Churg-Strauss Syndrome- churg-strauss syndrome is a disorder that causes inflammation in blood vessels (vasculitis), which restricts blood flow to various organs. Sinus pain and inflammation (sinusitis) is a symptom. You may experience facial pain and develop nasal polyps, which are soft, benign growths that develop as a result of chronic inflammation.
Nasal polyps or Nasal polyposis – it’s hard to breathe, your nose drips constantly, and your sense of smell just isn’t what it used to be. If this sounds like you, you probably blame allergies or a chronic sinus infection. But in some cases, your signs and symptoms may be due to nasal polyps — soft, (benign) growths that develop on the lining of your nose or sinuses.
Cold sores, which are small and somewhat painful blisters that usually show up on or around a person’s lips, are caused by the herpes simplex virus-1 (or HSV-1). But they don’t just show up on the lips. They can sometimes be inside the mouth, on the face, or even inside or on the nose.
Thanks for stopping by. Until next time…
Wow…I was doing a search on why the inside of my nose hurts so bad and I stumble upon your blog. Thanks for sharing the information you did. Silly me, I should have known this stupid achey thing was a part of my auto-immune disorder. Ughh…does it never end?
Lots of great information! =)
My sister had fibromyalgia for many years. She complained of nose sores – small but painful because of the tenderness of their placement. They were always just inside her nostril near the tip of her nose. She communicated in chat groups with many other fibromyalgia people, many of whom also had nose sores.
where can i find a picture of what one of these nasal sores look like. llmccaff@verizon.net
I must say, that I can not agree with you in 100%, but it’s just my opinion, which could be very wrong.
p.s. You have a very good template for your blog. Where did you find it?
The style of writing is quite familiar to me. Have you written guest posts for other bloggers?
Is there any cure for these constant sores?
Some of the reasons nasal sores show up can not be cured but only treated but always seem to return in most cases. For instance if you have SLE you can treat the nasal sores and they’ll go away but are likely to return later on due to immune system problems.
The best advice I can give you is to speak with your own doctor if you experience any type of nasal sores. They can better direct you on how to treat them and inform you whether they are likely to return in your specific case.
My personaly experience unfortunately has not found any way to get rid of the nasal sores for good. I continue to get them from time to time and continue to treat them with ointment the doctor prescribes to me but they always eventually return in my case.

can you get nasal sores if you have celiac disease?
Darlene,
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you visit again.
Celiac Disease is an auto immune disease. It is very likely that you are more prone to these nasal sores with any auto immune disease. My best advice is speak with your personal healthcare provider.
Again…

Is it possible that it could be mineral powder makeup? I just changed types of makeup, and within two weeks developed nasal sores. That is the only thing that I could connect it to. My nose bleeds and I have sores just inside of each nostril, but no real congestion or drainage. However, when I blow my nose, there is blood.
Thanks for stopping by Grandma. It is possible to have an allergic reaction to a new makeup. We are capable of developing allergies out of the blue with no known reasons. I would discontinue use of the make up, see if this improves your situation. If it doesn’t I would seek professional medical advice on what your problem might be.

Your blog pulled first on my Google search for these sores I have been dealing with. My brother was recently tested for Chron’s Disease but turned out negative. We are both thinking it may be Celiacs* (spelling). Thank you for your consideration of us here in cyber space.
Thanks Shaun for stopping by and I hope my page here led you to some answers and I hope you stop by again in the future.
