For some reason the skin on the inside of both my nostrils continually splits, heals, and splits again. I do have allergies frequently which may contribute to the irritation, but I don't understand why this keeps happening to me. The area affected is the skin inside my nostrils that is bottom most towards my palate. It never occurs on my septum or on the outer area of my nose. Also these two splits seem to always occur in the same spots. They split, hurt, scab over, and heal. The natural salinity of my nasal secretions adds to the discomfort. I do have a tendency to pick at the scabs because they itch and annoy me because they look and feel like boogers. I can actually see where the skin is sepparated when I look in the mirror. This problem has been going on for many years and I was wondering if there is anything to be done about it. It drives me nuts! I hope someone out there can help.
