Child's nose - severe scab

6 replies

BiffandChip1 · 11/03/2024 12:12

Trying to work out what could have made my child's nose this sore?! It is a big scab that keeps bleeding. I've tried to gently tweeze it out but it won't move. He's a picker so no doubt it's that following a cold. Couldn't get him in at the doctors today - is an urgent treatment centre a good idea? Fine in himself but it's been getting worse over a week period so I'm concerned...

Yes absolutely. Protocol is for AB’s for infections in this area of face. Get there asap.

Thank you so much! I thought it was going to clear but I'm sure it's now not but always hate wasting NHS time. I'll take him ASAP

Impetigo

Thanks. I had considered that but it didn't seem to fit and hasn't been oozing etc. I'll see what they say

We got an antibacterial cream so fingers crossed it starts working 🥰 thanks all for the advice
