Sores are wounds that could appear anywhere in your body and for a variety of different reasons. The commonest sores caused by contact dermatitis, injuries and infections include cancer sores, acne sores and sores inside the nose. These need to be handled and treated differently.
Canker sores—prevention and treatment
Canker sores are classified as small red ulcers, which appear mostly in and around the mouth like on the lips, tongue, tonsils etc. These are generally caused by bacterial and viral infections. Eating foods with sharp edges like chips and excess spicy foods are some others causes of canker sores.
Although there is no perfect cure for canker sores, you could reduce its spreading by avoiding toothpastes with SLS. Taking Benadryl Allergy liquid, Orabase, Lysine and mouthwashes like Listerine or Scope can help reduce canker sores.
How to deal with scalp sores
Sores on the scalp could result from a number of factors like scalp acne, cyst, contact dermatitis, skin cancer, allergic reactions or folliculitis. The scalp becomes prone to viral and bacterial infections and sores when it is excessively dry. Sometimes, moles on the scalp change form and develop into painful bumps. The best way to prevent such sores is to use herbal shampoos and hair products to keep the scalp soft and healthy.
Learn about nose sores
You could develop pimple like projections inside your nasal passage if you constantly pick your nose. Your nails contain infectious bacteria inside your nose from your fingernails that develop into painful pimples. Sharp nails could also leave a small nick or cut in your nostril that could become infected and become a sore.
In order to avoid nose sores, you must stop picking inside your nose. Flush your nose using lukewarm saline water, diluted peroxide solution or nasal spray. Afterwards coat the nostril with a topical antibiotic cream that suits you.
