Eczema inside the nose (skin, doctor, elbows, legs)

[BlueClouds]

Hi,
Have you heard of anyone having eczema inside the nose or had it yourself? What helped heal it and what doctor did you see ENT, dermo, etc.?

I have had a problem with nose bleeds since 2010 and nothing has been helpful, so I am wondering if maybe I have eczema in my nose (I do get it on my skin / folds of elbows, legs or face from time to time).
I have been to 3 different ENTs since 2010 and still get nose bleeds from the same area (had a deviated septum that was corrected in the 1980s).
TIA

I thought you can only get eczema on the skin, not inside anywhere in the body.

While it is rare, some people do develop eczema and/or psoriasis inside the nostrils.

Judging from your statistics, you live in drier areas. I had a friend who moved from south Florida to San Antonio and immediately had dry skin and itching, having to resort to cerave after every shower.

I will relate what the experience of my father was with nosebleeds. Living in Vermont, his winter nosebleeds were unstoppable, to the point of being life threatening. Cauterizations, Vaseline in the nostrils, packing (you would be AMAZED how much packing can be shoved up a nose), humidifiers, nothing worked and it got worse as he aged. He was told by his ENT doctor that he HAD to move to a humid climate to stop them. He moved to an island in a river in southwest Florida and to the best of my knowledge never had another one. Obviously, YMMV, but it is something to consider.
