Ive had this horrible, painful issue for about 8 months now. I am currently doing the Whole30 'cleanse', which eliminates dairy, sugar, grains, soy, alcohol for 30 days. I am 8 days in, and my nose has healed 100%. I believe its the sugar and/or dairy that is causing it. I know for a fact that allergies can show their faces in bizarre ways, so I would encourage you to try eliminating these from your daily diet! What have you got to lose!

Did you have success ? What worked for you?
Trying the Manuka Honey
So far, i havent seen any change and its been 24 hours since my first application of the honey.
I know this is an old thread, but I have the same problem and was able to cure it by applying a little Manuka honey into the nostril with a Qtip. I was not tested for MRSA, but I did receive antibiotics to no avail, and Manuka honey has been found to kill MRSA along with a number of other superbugs. If you're still having this problem, or any chronic long-term infection for that matter, Manuka Honey is worth trying.
I HEALED my nasal scab issue (similar to what so many here have described) which has been chronic for the past SIX MONTHS with something called Manuka Honey--Just google it and you'll learn volumes about it, but the bottom line is kills bacteria including MRCA! It works so well that US hospitals are using a medical grade version of it for burn cases. Anyway, I headed to a health store and bought a jar of Manuka honey with an MGO rating of 100 (look for the rating because the rating determines how much antimicrobial compounds are in it). I just dabbed a little on a Qtip and rubbed it up inside one nostril (lol I was afraid it might make my nostrils stick shut, so I only did one!) The next morning, the nasty scabs just all fell off. I applied a little more and went to work. Throughout the day there was a little itching, but no drainage or need to use a tissue. I reapplied that night and the next day (today) everything feels great. I'm going to apply tonight as well so everything can heal completely, but I am blown away impressed. Oh, and I've had two rounds of antibiotics which failed miserably to help me. Head to the nearest health store (I went to Vitamin Cottage for expediency, but it looks like it's much cheaper online) and pick up some Manuka honey with a grade of 100 or higher. (and watch out because there are a lot of UNGRADED Manuka honey bottles sold for cheaper prices. Look for that MGO certification to be sure. My local Wholefoods only had ungraded versions.
