My nose tip has been itching really badly every morning. It's strange because it only happens in the morning, never at any other time of the day. Once I'm ready and about to leave for work, the itching starts, and it's really annoying. I can't seem to figure out why or what might be causing this. Any ideas?

Morning nose tip itching can be frustrating. Here are some possible causes:
Allergies
- Dust mites: Exposure to dust mites in your pillow or bedding.
- Pet allergies: If you have pets, their dander might be causing the itch.
Environmental Factors
- Dry air: Low humidity in the morning can dry out your skin, causing itchiness.
- Cold weather: If you live in a cold climate, the morning chill might be irritating your nose.
Skin Conditions
- Seborrheic dermatitis: A common skin condition that can cause itchiness and flakiness.
- Contact dermatitis: Irritation from a new soap, moisturizer, or other product.
Other Possible Causes
- Nose picking or rubbing: Unconscious habits can cause irritation and itchiness.
- Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like vitamin B7 (biotin) or omega-3 fatty acids.
To alleviate the itch, try:
- Applying a gentle moisturizer to your nose tip.
- Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air.
- Avoiding scratching or rubbing your nose.
- Keeping your bedroom clean and dust-free.

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's health. She started having breathing problems and a heavy chest about 34 months ago, and even though she took medication for eosinophilia, she didnt get much relief. The eosinophil count seems under control now, but her IgE levels are still really high. The doctor had her on a nasal spray and some other meds for 20 days, then switched them up a bit. Still, the high IgE level worries me. We've just gotten her PFT and RAST tests done. Im curious about what else we should be looking into or considering for her treatment. Could this be part of something more serious, and is there anything else we should ask the doctor to test for?

I'm getting sick every few months, and I don't know why. I'm in Bangalore, and it usually starts with a sore throat and then leads to a cough, cold, and fever. The fever lasts a couple of days, but the cold and cough can drag on for weeks. I've noticed it can happen after I travel back to Bangalore or start going to the gym, or even sometimes during normal days. I've seen a lot of doctors, even at Manipal, but they just give me meds like Amoxicillin and cough syrup without looking deeper into what's going on. I'm really frustrated. What can I do to find a long-term solution for this?
