Hello, I got a sore in my nose which got bigger and sorer. Now the membrane in one side of my nose is constantly sore and crusty with yellow crusts. I ve had it for two weeks now, a week ago it felt like the side of my mouth split when I opened my mouth too wide. Then I started getting sore crusty scabs on the side of my mouth in the corner. Everything I open my mouth they split and it is sore. Do I have to go to the doctor? I ve been putting antiseptic cream on them but it doesn t appear to do anything. Are they related? Also I ve developed a tender lump on my lower jaw by my neck on the same side.. Not sure if that s related, I just feel run down.
Hi. It is already 2 weeks, and you still have not shown to a Doctor. Yes, you must see a Doctor. The sore in the nose can be an infection and the cut at the mouth corner is called angular dermatitis, comes on usually due to deficiency of multivitamins and folic acid, you need therapeutic supplements. The tender lump in lower jaw is secondary to the infection you have got. Consult a Doctor for prescription based antibiotic and supportive medicines
