Re-occuring Nose Infection? (photo)

bulbous_nose
I had rhino a year ago.Since then I have had at least 3 nose infections every 3-4 months.My nose becomes red/swollen/itchy.It goes away after taking sulpha based antibiotic/Mupirocin ointment.I spoke to my surgeon and he said that there are no implants/permanent sutures.I have great trust in his skills and abilities.Could it be Strep/MRSA/ingrown hair/suture that didn't dissolve/open wound that didn't heal completely?My surgeon recommended we reopen the nose and clean out scar tissue. Help!
