You posted about a women experiencing a dry nasal passage. You described
honey crusting in her nose. As a nurse practitioner, any time I hear "honey
crusted lesion" I have to think impetigo. Perhaps she experienced dryness in
her nose, scratched it and developed an infection. Our hands and nails are
covered with the bacteria that causes impetigo. If, in fact she does have
honey crusted lesions, she should get it checked out medically, as she will
most likely need antibiotic ointment if it is Impetigo.
