I have an open rhinoplasty with Goretex implant 7 months ago. My problem is I have a scabbing in my right nostril that is consistent for almost a month now and it has a pain that feels like a tiny cut in my nostril but no pus or smell at all. I take antibiotics but after 9 days it comes back again. I use mupirocin for 5 days and it stop but after 2 days there are scabbing. Could it be a possible rejection?
I have a scab or what feels like little cut that reopens in one of my nostrils now and then post rhinoplasty where my nostril meets my septum. It twinges and hurts a little and when it comes back I can see a little 'cut' at my nostril. Is this ever normal?
How long should there be a scab on the internal incision after a closed rhinoplasty? I cant get it on the picture but when I put my finger an bit inside it is right after that bulge, where I drew the blue line. Horizontal and against my septum. I also noticed these yellow spotty crusts on the side of my columella, pretty obvious in the picture. Is that normal? My surgeon never once looked inside my nostrils to see if everything had healed right :(
Due to travel reasons, I had to remove the stitches after my open rhinoplasty earlier than it should have been removed. The doctor said it would be okay but now (over a month after my rhinoplasty) I have yellow CRUSTY scab over the wound inside my nose everyday. I remove it with cotton bud/cotton pad but it keeps coming back. How worried should I be?
Hi, I'm 25 and for the last 5 years had taken cocaine, whilst I was doing this I suffered a problem with my thyroids and immune system so was unable to heal quickly. After doing cocaine it left scabs which quickly turned into a hole. Immediately I stopped taking cocaine but my hole has continued to get bigger. This has now caused me to feel too anxious and paranoid to leave the house. I need advice and hopefully help to fix my nose!! This is ruining my life! I want to get to the girl I use to be!
Hi, I had a rhino/septo about 6 weeks ago and I have bad scabbing and mucus in my throat. And my breathing is very congested at times I can only breathe out of one nostril, then sometimes it changes to the other. Ive tried saline spray, Vaseline, ointment, and a humidifier. But scabs keep coming back even after Ive cleaned it. Is there anything else I can do. I just want to be able to breathe better.
I had a septorhinoplasty, turbinate reduction and septum perforation repair. The operation lasted 4 hours in total as I had a lot of things done in that time including ear cartilage harvesting and dorsal rasping.. I am 7 days post op and for the past 4 days I have noticed my septum is really swollen and sore and the stents are actually digging into my skin forming a scab on one side. I am worried there is infection. I dont have a temperature. old blood still coming out of nose and in my throat.
Had a tiny hole for a few months in right nostril, it isnt sore, I recall pulling scabs away from this area. Is it possible to damage the skin this way and it to take this long to heal. Sometimes it looks like it is healing but I sneeze or sniff and it appears again. Also the tiniest amount of Vaseline will cover it. I do not do cocaine.
I think I have a deviated septum but I havent had surgery. Today I noticed, that what I thought was a scar or a scab is actually exposed cartilage. I plan on making an appointment asap but how does this happen? Will I require surgery?
I had Rhinoplasty done about a week ago and my nose is full of scabs. I know this is normal but the scabs are very annoying. I can hardly breathe through my nose at all. Though, I have been using nasal saline solution every few hours, as directed, and also, cleaning my nostrils with Q-tips, it doesn't seem to help with the scabs. Is there anything else I can do to help remove the scabs soon or even more quickly? Or any advice for my situation, in general? I just want to be able to breathe!
