Inside of nose sore and swollen?

Question:

About 4 days ago, my left inside nostril started getting sore. Now it is so sore and swollen the outside of my nose is starting to swell and is very red. I used tweezers to peel some dry skin away on the inside part and I got some white puss with blood to come out a couple times. It hurst so bad and I do NOT want to have to go to the Dr. Does anyone know what it could be or what I can do to get the swelling to go down or relieve some of the pressure?

Answers:
Stop doing yayo. It might be syphylis of the nose.

I would think that if you are having pus and dried dead skin inside of your nose, it's probably best to go to the doctor, even if you don't want to...

1) The doctor can look in there and figure out WHAT the problem actually is
2) The doctor can prescribe antibiotics if required to get rid of it
3) When youa re poking and prodding at it with unsanitary tweezers and pokers, then you are probably making it worse

Usually just a pimple, which you can get inside the nose just as easily as on the outside. The other possibility is an ingrown hair (have you pulled any hairs at any time?).

A warm compress might help it come to a head. Basically the pus needs to drain, after which the pimple/swelling should go away. The pain and pressure are from the trapped pus/infection.

If it doesn't go away in the next few days, go to a doctor.

It sounds like a zit. i use to get those in my nose often. They hurt so bad, even just moving my nose. Theres nothing I could do to get rid of it quick. :-(
