Damaged nasal lining

darktiger27 said:My nasal passages have been swollen and covered in tiny little sores for quite some time now. I called my doctor today, and she suggested using a thin layer of ointment. If things don't improve in a few days, she wants me to come back in so she can probably send me for a nasal swab. Has anyone else dealt with this? What is actually going on here?
As for me, I’ve got those raw spots that bleed every time I try to clear away the crusting or mucus... it honestly hurts. My nasal lining feels completely trashed. I tried using Flonase—I think that's how you spell it—and my doctor actually thinks that was the culprit behind the irritation. Right now, I'm just applying some aloe vera and seeing if that does the trick. I suppose the tissue will eventually just knit itself back together. For now, I've stopped all nasal medications entirely, and frankly, I don't plan on ever touching them again as long as I live. Cross my heart.
