Wound inside the nostril
I have been having this wound in my nostril since 1month and I have no idea how I got it. 2 weeks before the nostril was swollen and it was hurting. The swelling was reduced within 2 days. Now I can see the skin is peeled off and its having a red patches. There is always this pricky and itchy feeling. Is there any way to heal the wound?
