I have an extremely sore pimple just inside the nostril of my nose... Its getting bigger and causing me difficulty breathing through my nose. im not worried about how it looks. its just that every time something touches it, it brings tears to my eyes. thanks.
I can't get it drained. It's not in a good place to squeeze, and I can't go to the doctor. Is there any home remedies for this sort of thing? I can get a lancet (splinter remover) and puncture it if that would help.

Once you drain it, it will hurt a lot less.

I know that you say it is very painful and that things touching it brings tears to the eye but i suggest trying to suck it up as best you can and get two cotton buds on either said of it and try to pop it. Or put a cotton bud on one side and brace yourself then push hard and rub it over the sopt. It might also help to get a pin or needle and prick the top of it so that whatever is inside of it has a hole to come out of and it doesn't have to break through the skin causing you more pain.
Hope i have helped, let us know how you go

Try some Ichthammol Ointment. You can buy it at your local Walgreens or CVS pharmacy for about $3. Ask the pharmacist and they will get you one it's usually behind the counter but you don't need a prescription. Rub some on there before you go to bed and place a bandaid over it (stuff will stain your sheets) and leave it on overnight. It should draw out the puss and infection if not the first night then the second or third definitely. Stinks to high heaven but it works. =)
